Inhaltsangabe

Advances in science and technology continue to create opportunities for novel and improved products and systems of production in horticulture. The chapters collected here originated at the first Horticulture Research International conference, held at Wellesbourne in October 1997. Here leading experts address ways to improve horticultural crops through plant breeding, biotechnology, and the manipulation of the physiology and environment of the plant. The chapters include examples which illustrate the progression from scientific breakthrough to practical application for producers and consumers. The book also highlights potential scientific advances which could lead to new commercial applications.
