This document summarizes a seminar on breeding for abiotic stress tolerance in legumes. It discusses various breeding strategies, including field testing, phenotyping traits, screening genes and QTLs, and using transcriptomics, proteomics, and microbiome approaches. It also describes some legume varieties bred for stress tolerance. Additionally, it outlines physiological, molecular, and genomic approaches for improving stress tolerance, such as escape mechanisms, dehydration avoidance, dehydration tolerance, signaling pathways, transgenics, molecular markers, QTL analysis, and genome editing using CRISPR-Cas9.
