Reid and Qaderi analyzed methane emissions from six important Canadian crops - faba bean, sunflower, pea, canola, barley and wheat - that were exposed to combinations of three components of global climate change: temperature, ultraviolet-B radiation and water stress (drought).
The major pulse crops grown in the country are chickpea, lentil, pea, black gram, green gram, mung bean, mash bean, kidney bean, faba bean, pigeon pea, cowpea and grass pea.
In the first of five volumes, scientists from Australia, North America, Asia, and Africa explain the genetic resources of grain legumes and how they are being used to improve yields, reduce disease, resist pests, and alter other agronomic traits of the mostly widely grown and consumed legumes: the common bean, pea, pigeonpea, cowpea, faba bean, chickpea, lentil, lupin, mung bean, and azuki bean.
