Legumes: Physiology and Molecular Biology of Abiotic Stress Tolerance

  • 346 Accesses

Abstract

Legumes are a vital food source next to cereals. Their productivity is restricted in acidic soils as most of them are sensitive to aluminum (Al) stress. Al can quickly inhibit cell division, disrupt cell structure, diminish water and nutrient uptake, and hinder root elongation in food legumes. An increase in rhizospheric pH, Al avoidance, and shift of nutrient element circulation pay to Al tolerance in food legumes. Also, exudation of organic acids and induction of antioxidant activities portray a significant part in Al stress tolerance of leguminous species. Molecular map** of Al-tolerant genes helps in designing breeding strategies to improve crop production on Al toxic soils. This chapter focuses on various aspects of Al toxicity tolerance covering mechanisms, screening techniques, genetic control, map**, and molecular advancements in legumes.
