The Lentil Genome 1st Edition

Discover the definitive resource on lentil genomics: The Lentil Genome, 1st Edition by Jitendra Kumar, Debjyoti Sen Gupta, and Shiv Kumar. This authoritative volume brings together cutting‑edge research on Lens culinaris, offering practical insights for scientists, plant breeders, agronomists, and advanced students focused on legume improvement.

Built on rigorous genomic data and translational research, this book maps the genetic architecture of lentil—covering genome sequencing, gene annotation, marker development, and functional genomics. Case studies highlight applications in breeding for disease resistance, stress tolerance, yield enhancement, and nutritional quality, making the science directly applicable to crop programs across India, South Asia, the Mediterranean and other temperate growing regions.

Readable yet technically robust, the text balances detailed methodology with real-world implications: from molecular breeding strategies and genomic selection to bioinformatics pipelines and field validation. Each chapter clarifies complex concepts and presents actionable approaches for accelerating lentil improvement and ensuring food security in lentil‑dependent landscapes.

Why this book matters:
– Comprehensive: Integrates genomics, breeding and agronomy for a holistic view.
– Practical: Emphasizes translational outcomes for breeding programs.
– Regionally relevant: Addresses challenges and solutions for major lentil-producing geographies.

Whether you are leading a breeding program, conducting genomic research, or developing policy for sustainable legume production, The Lentil Genome is an indispensable reference that bridges science and practice. Secure a copy today to stay at the forefront of lentil research and crop improvement.
