Soybean (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Soybean is a protein-packed functional food used widely as both food and feed crops. Despite its many medicinal, culinary, as well as various agronomical complementary traits, it is vulnerable to various abiotic and biotic stresses. This new two-volume set Soybeans provides comprehensive coverage of many aspects of soybean, its utilities, vulnerabilities, and most recent discoveries.

Volume 1: History, Breeding, and Product Profile emphasizes aspects of taxonomy, domestication of soybean, and its evolution. Comprised of four sections, it covers the history, taxonomy, distribution, and economic importance of soybeans. It also discusses soybean breeding, seed systems, product development as well as product profiles of soybean.

Volume 2: Genome, Biotechnology, Stress, and Disease looks at the current trends, genomic information, conventional breeding techniques along with their challenges, and the need for modern methods in the cultivation of soybeans. This volume explores the genetics, genomics, and proteomics of soybeans, discussing advances and improvements in soybeans, soybean diseases, the use of soybeans in medicine, and other future uses of soybeans.

Together, this two-volume set provides a holistic approach and covers a wide range of areas of both research and interest for soybean crop improvement. The volumes will prove beneficial for agriculturalists, plant physiologists, biotechnologists, and particularly soybean breeders.
