Book Description
Produtivity of legume crops grown in semi-arid regions of the world is limited by drought. This study was conducted to determine the effect of drought on the physiological and morphorlogical factors associated with productivity of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown under reduced water levels. Physiological factors measured were photosynthesis, water and osmotic potential, translocation, relative growth rates and dry matter partitioning. Morphological traits of pode and seeds were stutied with scanning electron microscops. Field and glasshouse experiments were conducted under light, temperature, and irrigation regimes. Water stress caused reduction of seed yield in cowpea and bean plants by decressing total biomass and photosynthesis. Bean water potential and turgor of source leaf, pod walls, and seed were similar for both stressed and nonstressed plants over the reproducive period. In both bean and cowpea, partitioning of the total above ground dry matter was similar for both stressed and nonstressed plants. Photosynthetic rates of single leaves from either cowpea or bean were greater for nonstressed than stressed plants.

Book Description
By the year 2050, the world's population is expected to reach nine billion. To feed and sustain this projected population, world food production must increase by at least 50 percent on much of the same land that we farm today. To meet this staggering challenge, scientists must develop the technology required to achieve an "evergreen" revolution-one
