This book was written both by researchers from different disciplines andplant physiologists who have been working together for many years on the production of plants rich in proteins in France and in Europe. It presents the current status of knowledge on the physiology of the pea crop. Content: Vegetative development: the morphogenesis of plant organs -- Carbon acquisition at the crop level in pea -- Dilution curve -- Carbon and nitrogen fluxes within the plant -- The seed number -- Abiotic stresses -- Biotic stresses -- A model which integrates knowledge on pea crop physiology and agronomic diagnosis -- Proposal for a diagnostic approach to analyse yield variations in peas -- Genotype x environment interaction for yield and protein concentration -- Prospects for legume crops in France and Europe. Abstract: Presents the status of knowledge on the physiology of the pea crop. This book discusses vegetative and reproductive development, growth under non-limiting conditions, and the nitrogen nutrition of the pea crop. It then explores the effects of the abiotic and biotic stresses on the development as well as the growth and nitrogen uptake by the plant. Read more...
