Synopsis

As a result of the growing population and recurring issues of flood and drought, the need for innovation in plant varieties has become increasingly pressing. Furthermore, the limitations in the improvement of fruit crops, such as extended juvenile periods, high genetic variation, inadequate understanding of inheritance patterns, excessive fruit drop, parthenocarpy, and fewer seeds per fruit, have necessitated the development of various strains of mango, grape, papaya, banana, and guava. These strains are suitable for a range of purposes.

The second, fully revised and expanded edition of the eagerly anticipated book Fruit Breeding Approaches and Achievements has been released with the purpose of providing the most up-to-date information on fundamental breeding approaches, biotic stress resistance, and the use of plant growth regulators in fruit development. Additionally, this edition covers the enhancement of a wide range of important fruit crops, including mango, banana, papaya, grape, guava, citrus, ber, aonla, pomegranate, date palm, litchi, coconut, cashewnut, pineapple, and temperate and underutilized fruits.
