Food legumes are important constituents of human and animal
nutrition, supplying high quality proteins crucial for a balanced
diet. These crops also play an important role in low-input
agricultural production systems by fixing atmospheric nitrogen.
Despite systematic and continuous breeding efforts by legume
researchers all over the world, substantial genetic gains have not
been achieved. These issues require immediate attention, and
overall, a paradigm shift is needed in breeding strategies to
strengthen our traditional crop improvement programs. To this end,
"Biology and Breeding of Food Legumes" provides extensive
information on their history, origin, evolution and botany, as well
as breeding objectives and procedures, nutritional improvement,
industrial uses, post-harvest technology and recent developments
made through biotechnological intervention.
