This is a hugely important text with one aim: to provide breeders and researchers from the public and private sectors with all the latest information
on the breeding of crops of economic relevance.
As the first volume of the Handbook of Plant Breeding book series, Vegetables I is devoted to vegetable crops breeding. Each chapter is dedicated to a major vegetable crop and contains a comprehensive review of the diversity, breeding techniques, achievements and use of the most advanced molecular techniques in the genetic improvement of these crops.
What's more, it serves as a one-stop-shop for horticulturists and extension agents interested in current advancements in the development of new vegetable crops varieties.
Each chapter incorporates the most up-to-date information on the crops examined, and an important novelty is that, in comparison to other books already published on this subject this one contains the most cutting-edge information on molecular breeding techniques.
Readers can benefit from having in a single book the most relevant information for the genetic improvement of the most important vegetable crops.
