This timely review delves into the transcriptomics, proteomics, genomics, metabolomics, transgenomics, functional genomics, and phenomics of a wide range of leguminous crops under both biotic and abiotic stresses. The text explores genetic and molecular responses to environmental fluctuations, including nutrient deficiency, pesticide exposure, salt stress, and temperature variations.

The book also discusses strategies to overcome these constraints in legumes through physiobiochemical, molecular, and omics approaches. It covers the application of phytoprotectants, the role of nutrients in mitigating abiotic stress, and microbial strategies for enhancing legume production under hostile conditions.
