Tree species are indispensable to human needs. Due to their long
life cycle and environmental sensitivity, breeding trees for
sustainable production is a formidable challenge in order to meet
the demands of growing human population and industries. Fruit crops
such as apple, cocoa, mango, citrus, litchi, pear, dates, and
coconut or industrial crops including rubber and tea, improving
yield under the optimal, sub-optimal and marginal areas call for a
unified worldwide effort. While the uniqueness of coconut as
'kalpavriksha' (Sanskrit - meaning tree of life) makes its presence
in every continent from Far East to South America, tree crops such
as cocoa, oil palm, rubber, apple, peach and walnut prove their
environmental sensitivity towards tropical, subtropical and
temperate climates. Date palm is quintessential for desert climate.
Thus, from soft drinks to breweries to oil to tires, the value
addition offers a spectrum of products to human kind, enriched with
nutritional, environmental, financial, and trade related
attributes. This volume is a compilation of information on breeding
of temperate tree species and provides first hand comprehensive
knowledge to research, teach, and make policies.
