Cowpea -- Chapter-1: Introduction -- Chapter-2: Genetic improvement and variability -- Chapter-3: Quality and nutrition -- Chapter-4: Cultivation -- Chapter-5: Plant Protection -- Chapter-6: Physiology and Abiotic stresses -- Chapter-7: Genetic markers and Biotechnology -- Horsegram -- Chapter-1: Introduction -- Chapter-2: Genetic improvement and variability -- Chapter-3: Quality and nutrition -- Chapter-4: Cultivation -- Chapter-5: Plant Protection -- Chapter-6: Physiology and Abiotic stresses -- Chapter-7: Genetic markers and Biotechnology -- Moth bean -- Chapter-1: Introduction -- Chapter-2: Genetic improvement and variability -- Chapter-3: Quality and nutrition -- Chapter-4: Cultivation -- Chapter-5: Plant Protection -- Chapter-6: Physiology and Abiotic stresses -- Chapter-7: Genetic markers and Biotechnology.

This authored book gives insight into the morphology, physiology, genetics, plant protection and biotechnology of three important arid legumes, viz., moth bean, cowpea and horse gram. There are seven chapters for each crop that provide in-depth information on cultivation, genetic improvement, plant protection measures, management of physiological and abiotic stresses along with related genetic markers and biotechnological advances pertaining to these legumes. The chapters present research findings and brief reviews concerning the advances made in the improvement of these legumes. Legumes are utilized as pulses or grains aiding as an important source of protein for both human and animal consumption and also provide raw materials to the food and feed industries. They are also valuable for soil building, improving soil quality and biological nitrogen fixation. Physiology and genetics provide an inimitable source of information on the distinct aspects of basic and applied legume research for general readers, students, academicians and researchers. Arid legumes are crops characterized by inherent features and capabilities to withstand adverse and harsh climatic conditions, significantly replenish the soil, as well as provide protein and micronutrients. Adaptability to several stresses including drought makes them key to agriculture in areas receiving scanty rainfall. This comprehensive book disseminates significant information on the genetic diversity, cultivation, manipulation through mutagenic techniques, molecular biology and other breeding techniques. The book, therefore, is of importance to teachers, researchers and policymakers who are interested to acquire knowledge about moth bean, cowpea and horse gram. It also serves as an additional reading material for MSc and PhD students of agriculture and environmental sciences. The book is also useful to national and international agricultural scientists and policymakers.
