Fruit Breeding [Paperback]

Fruit Breeding is the eighth volume in the Handbook of Plant Breeding series.

The majority of the volume showcases individual crops, complemented by sections dealing with important aspects of fruit breeding as trends, marketing and protection of new varieties, health benefits of fruits and new crops in the horizon. The book also features contributions from outstanding scientists for each crop species.
