Content:
A renewed effort to improve fruit yield and quality is underway worldwide, as is evidenced by the specialty crop research initiatives being supported by many national and international agricultural agencies. Although significant advances are expected in areas of field production and postharvest practices, genetic approaches to improving appearance, nutritional value, and storage life are at the avant-garde of fruit breeding research. Breeding for Fruit Quality presents a thorough analysis of plant breeding efforts to improve fruit quality, as well as a contemporary understanding of the physiol.
