Carbohydrates in grain legume seeds : improving nutritional quality and agronomic characteristics / edited by C.L. Hedley, Department of Applied Genetics, John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK ; Associate Editors, Jane Cunningham and Alan Jones. - 1 online resource (xvi, 322 pages) : illustrations, charts

Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-313) and index.

Introduction -- Carbohydrate Chemistry -- Nutrition -- Processing -- Seed Physiology and Biochemistry -- Biotechnology -- Breeding and Agronomy -- Strategies for Manipulating Grain Legume Carbohydrates.

Access limited to subscribing institution.

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 chemistry, nutrition, processing, seed physiology and biochemistry, biotechnology, breeding and agronomy, and strategies for manipulating grain legume carbohydrates.
