Note(s) : Global climate change is increasingly recognized as a critical challenge with which
the world is facing. This big issue has been globally viewed as an alarming threat
to future sustainable agricultural development. Stresses of plants, caused by various
climatic variables, are the principle factors behind the remarkable reductions in
legume production. Over last decade, our understanding of plant adaptation to various
environmental stresses has grown considerably. The threat of global environmental
variability has made development of elite new varieties that could withstand the future
expected harsh climatic conditions highly important. Much progress has been achieved
in the identification and characterization of the underlying mechanisms that help
symbiotic legumes overcome the negative impact of various abiotic stresses. We realize
the necessity for evaluating the impact of these major stresses on the legumes performance.
The present volume is an attempt to reach this goal. Recent interest in understanding
legume responses to climate change makes this volume timely. The "Legume Nitrogen
Fixation in a Changing Environment - Achievements and Challenges" volume brings together
the state-of-the-art overview of the legume-rhizobia interaction in the context of
a changing global environment. This volume focuses on the major environmental factors,
namely drought, elevated temperature, salinity, soil acidity and rising carbon dioxide
that substantially limit legume growth and productivity. Five chapters written by
five internationally recognized research groups provide comprehensive coverage of
the physiological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms that enable legume adaptation
to these abiotic stressors. We believe that the knowledge included in this endeavor
will be useful in building critical strategies to counter unfavorable conditions by
leguminous plants. We enjoyed working on this volume in collaboration with the contributing
authors. We hope that this volume will be of great value to legume researchers, and
to people working with non-leguminous crop species as well
