Media reviews

"This book [...] is concerned with the potential utility of wild germplasm in temperate fruit crop improvement. [...] The use of wild relatives in breeding is an area of great interest and activity for many fruit breeders, especially with the assistance of molecular tools. [...] this volume provides an excellent source of information about the relevant species and how they might be utilised by breeders in the future. The production is of a high standard, with an extensive bibliography in each chapter."
- Rex Brennan, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 48 (1), 2012
