Climate Change and Legumes Stress Mitigation for Sustainability and Food Security,CRC Press, Mohammad Zabed Hossain,Hossain Md Anawar,D.R. Chaudhary, Editör, CRC, New York , London, ss.41-55, 2023
Legumes are one of the most important agricultural, dietary and economically improtant
crops. Because,legumes are used as food and feed. With the heat stress caused by global
warming, agricultural production across the world has entered a troubled period. High
temperature can cause a series of morphological-physiological, biochemical and genetic
changes in plants causing a serious decrease in agricultural and economic productivity. Along
with the heat stress caused by global warming, the troublesome process in agricultural
production in the world can be reduced or prevented by developing heat-resistant products by
following various genetic procedures. By having sufficient knowledge about plants'
physiological, biochemical and genetic forces against heat, temperature tolerant products can
be grown. Therefore, it is important to know the molecular and genetic processes in plants
and potential strategies to reduce the heat stress problem in agriculture. This chapter focused
on the diversity of legume genetic resources for adaptation to climate-related stresses due to
the global warming. In the first part, an explanation has been made about the variation in crop
yields against the temperature stress that may occur due to climate change. In addition,
information about the various mechanisms of plants to cope with the heat stress situation is
discussed and the effects of high temperature on the growth and function of plants are also
stated. In the following sections, information about the genetic diversity of legumes and the
sustainability of their producers is given.
