Including the latest in genetics, signaling, and biotechnology, the book identifies these types of stresses, their causes, and means of avoiding, then addresses existing stresses to provide a comprehensive overview of key production yield factors.
By presenting important insights into the historical and emerging uses for soybean, the book educates readers on the factors for consideration as new uses are developed. It is an ideal complement to volume two, Environmental Stress Conditions in Soybean Production, that work together to provide valuable insights into crop protection.
- Presents insights for the successful production of soybean based on chemical, physical and biologic challenges
- Includes the latest specifics on soybean properties, growth, and production, including responses to different stresses and their alleviation methods
- Offers recent advancements related to the process of N fixation and rhizobium, including signaling pathways and their practical use
- Explores the production of rhizobium inoculums at large-scale levels
Researchers, academicians and scientists in plant biology, plant physiology, plant molecular biology, crop production, plant-microbe interactions, microbiology, biotechnology, environment, etc. It is also of special significance to the industry sector, as the production and processing of soybean grains for food and oil production is an important process. Advanced level students in these areas.
