Legumes Biofortification

  • 167 Accesses

Abstract

Climate change and the rapidly growing global population, coupled with the problem of hidden hunger, necessitates the implementation of environmentally friendly agriculture practices to boost crop nutritional value and productivity. An effective solution for this is the use of plant growth–promoting bacteria (PGPB) in legume biofortification, which offers numerous health benefits and decreases the risk of various diseases. Legumes, being a significant source of plant proteins, can engage in symbiotic nitrogen (N) fixation, solubilize phosphorus (P), reduce CO2 emissions, improve plant resistance to pathogens, and enhance soil exploration, ultimately leading to improved plant growth and soil preservation. However, the potential of microbe-mediated legume biofortification has not yet been fully explored. This chapter focuses on the significance of microbe-mediated legume biofortification in improving plant nutritional value, agronomic traits, and yields. It also emphasizes the need for the integration of genetic, biochemical, physiological, and environmental data to achieve this. Hence, the use of beneficial rhizobacteria as biofertilizers constitutes a cost-effective and promising approach for sustainable agriculture and the resolution of food security issues around the world.
