The potential in the area to respond to consumer demands and
address public health issues through diet, has brought about the
impetus to do further research by government, industry and research
institutes to substantiate the science behind the health benefits
from plant constituents. Marker Assisted Selection hold great
potential for plant breeding as it promises to expedite the time
taken to produce crop varieties with desirable characters. Progress
has been made in mapping and tagging many horticultural important
genes with morphological, biochemical and molecular markers which
form the foundation for marker assisted selection in crops plants.
They offer great scope for improving the efficiency of conventional
plant breeding by carrying out selection not directly on the trait
of interest but on molecular markers linked on those traits. Plant
cell and callus culture systems have been emerged most potential
area of bio processing and production of useful metabolites of
nutraceutical importance. These methods have been advanced through
bioreactor technology. Research and development is critical to the
rapidly developing field of functional foods and nutraceuticals.
Producers want new opportunities that increase farm income;
processors want value-added food products, health ingredients and
new uses for agricultural production, by-products and new products
for new and existing markets. Consumers (worldwide) want increased
assurance of the safety and quality of the food system and enhanced
environmental performance of the agriculture and agri-food sector.
Provinces and communities are seeking economic development
opportunities for horticulture. This book will be helpful in better
understanding, utilization of crop diversity, underutilized crops,
and their residues and improvement in PHT and development of new
functional food with greater use of bioactive compounds and other
quality traits.
