Fruit Breeding is an art and science demanding prolonged time,
space and intrinsic qualities. Seed propagation leads to
heterogeneity and asexual propagation of elite clones' leads to
newer and novel types. There are temperate, sub-tropical and
tropical fruits differing in photo and thermo periodic
requirements. There are also parthenocarpic and apomictic fruit
trees demanding special breeding methods for improvement. Aroma,
taste and flavor are unique to fruits unlike other horticultural
crops like vegetables, spices, plantation crops and tubers. The
book unravels history of fruit breeding, biodiversity, challenges
approaches and prospects, apomixes, mutation breeding, role of
insects in fruit production, molecular markers, statistical
techniques, rootstock breeding, breeding of mango, citrus, banana,
papaya, guava, sapota, jackfruit, sugarapple/sweetsop Indian jujube
and jamun. The 20 s in the book authored by 15 scientists from six
Research Institutes and Universities expose readers to a new world
of fruit breeding, very seldom ventured by breeders.
