Breeding and Cultivation Management of Legumes

Dear Colleagues,

Legumes represent one of the most diverse groups of agronomically important plant species. Exploiting their characteristics on different levels will help to improve available genetic resources by employing advanced breeding approaches and assessing promising cultivation management practices. The Special issue of Plants on Breeding and Cultivation Management of Legumes provides a unique opportunity to publish results related to key aspects for genetic, genomic, morphologic, agronomic, metabolomic and other omics trait-related improvement and breeding of diverse legume species and their efficient cultivation management strategies. Much remains to be discovered and it would be of great importance to contribute your scientific findings to accelerate breeding, agronomic performance, and sustainability of different legumes worldwide.
