Ornamental plants are economically important worldwide. Both
growers and consumers ask continuously for new, improved varieties.
Although there are numerous ornamental species, ornamental plant
breeding and plant breeding research is mainly limited to some
major species. This book focuses on the recent advances and
achievements in ornamental plant breeding. The first part of the
book focuses on plant traits and breeding techniques that are
typical for ornamental plants. Eminent research groups write these
general chapters. For plant traits like flower colour or shape,
breeding for disease resistance and vase or shelf life are
reviewed. General technical plant breeding chapters deal with
mutation breeding, polyploidisation, in vitro breeding techniques
and new developments in molecular techniques. The second part of
the book consists of crop-specific chapters. Here all economically
major ornamental species are handled together with selected
representative species from different plant groups (cut flowers,
pot plants, woody ornamental plants). In these crop-specific
chapters, the main focus is on recent scientific achievements over
the last decade.
