 Free Download Chickpea and Cowpea: Nutritional Profile, Processing, Health Prospects and Commercial Uses English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032455756 | 354 Pages | PDF (True) | 8.4 MB Legumes can act as good sources of nutrients, especially for those who are suffering from protein related nutritional deficiency. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) are annual legumes grown throughout the world as food and feed. The presence of specific nutrients with many health benefits makes them a valuable food commodity.  Imran Kozgar, "Mutation Breeding in Chickpea: Perspectives and Prospects for Food Security" English | 2014 | pages: 151 | ISBN: 8376560700 | PDF | 6,0 mb The book by M. Imran Kozgar aims to cover the problems of mutation breeding in pulse crops in the light of issues related to food insecurity and malnutrition, which according to FAO are the major threats at the present time. So far the research on induction of mutation in pulse crops is negligible compared to cereal crops, though the pulse crops and especially the chickpea are the largest grown crops in India. The main objective of the book is to reveal and explore the possibility of inducing genetic variability in early generations of mutated chickpea, describe the positive aspects of mutagenic treatments, evaluate the content of mineral elements (iron, manganese, zinc and copper) and physiological parameters of isolated high yielding mutant lines. The author hopes that his book will help to advance studies on pulse crops, and that in the long term it will help to reduce the food insecurity and malnutrition problems presently persisting in various developing countries, including India. |
