CABI Book Chapter
Carbohydrates in grain legume seeds. Improving nutritional quality and agronomic characteristics.
Description
This book is the result of a combined effort from scientists covering many disciplines interacting within a European Union-funded Copernicus project entitled 'Carbohydrate Biotechnology Network for Grain Legumes' (CABINET). The CABINET project linked 30 participants from 14 countries across Europe, including states of the former Soviet Union. The 8 chapters provide information on carbohydrate chem...

Breeding and agronomy.
The breeding and agronomy of grain legumes is discussed under the following headings: current breeding goals; breeding techniques, including pedigree breeding, bulk selection and deviations from the pedigree and bulk methods; access to genetic variation, including germplasm banks, existing variation for the carbohydrates and newly identified genetic variation (starch, raffinose family of oligosaccharides and saponins); selection methods; physical screening methods, including near-infrared spectroscopy and mid-infrared spectroscopy; some agronomic considerations of carbohydrates, including during plant growth and development, and during seed development; and European registration requirements for new varieties, including background, agronomic characters, technological characters and chemical characters.
