The first book in this new series discusses grain legumes, which rank only second to cereals in supplying calories and protein to the world's population. With each chapter written by an internationally renowned scientist, the book reviews the role of alien germplasm for the domestication of each major legume crop. Discussion for each crop covers origin, germplasm exploration and maintenance; taxonomy; germplasm enhancement through chromosome engineering; mutation breeding; and contributions of biotechnological methods. Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Grain Legumes serves as the standard reference for improving the yield for legumes.

The book entilted,"Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Grain legumes‎" by Ram J. Singh and Prem P. Jauhar is undoubtedly the work of scientific caliber naturally is pressurizing the breeding scientis to elobrate the work for the betterment of humans. The green revolution in cereals has proved that the crops are the main source which reduces the malnutrition from the world and the second green revolution will definately is going to reduce the hungry-ness of common poor people in developing countries. The work of present type in the form of book is one of the serials of the programme of green revolution in pulses.
