Physiology and Molecular Biology of Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Legumes

  • First Online:
Legumes: Physiology and Molecular Biology of Abiotic Stress Tolerance

Abstract

Agricultural productivity in legumes is hampered due to several abiotic stresses, including extreme temperatures, salinity, flood, drought, heavy metals, ultraviolet radiation, and nutrient deficiencies. Generally, it is empathized that legumes are sensitive to abiotic stresses, and abiotic stresses negatively influence the plant survival and agricultural productivity. Over a decade, advances in crop physiology and genetics and scientific developments in omics such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics have substantially enhanced our understanding of crop response to these stresses. To explore the underlying complex multilayered abiotic tolerance mechanism, a comprehensive understanding of abiotic stress, especially molecular-physiological strategies, is essential for breeding involving abiotic stress tolerance. This chapter addresses the diverse abiotic stresses and their management to increase the agricultural productivity.
