This volume summarizes recent technological advances in the design
and engineering of Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae crops. It begins
with contributions on the tomato and melon genome sequence,
databases for Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae research, DNA markers in
the breeding of the two families, and mutant resources and TILLING
platforms in tomato research. Subsequent chapters address the use
of molecular techniques for the modification of important breeding
traits, such as tomato fruit set, growth, ripening, and sugar
accumulation, as well as disease and insect resistance in melons.
The volume closes with chapters on genome editing using artificial
nucleases as a future breeding tool, and on the development of an
in silico crop design system. It offers a valuable resource for
plant breeders, molecular biologists, and agronomists.

Fruit ripening is an important aspect of fruit production. The
timing of it affects supply chains and buying behaviour, and for
consumers ripeness not only affects perceptions of health but has
nutritional effects too. Ripeness is closely related to spoilage
which has a major financial impact on agricultural industries.
Currently there are fast moving developments in knowledge of the
factors affecting fruit ripeness, and this up-to-date monograph
seeks to draw together the disparate research in this area. The aim
of the book is to produce a comprehensive account covering almost
every area related to fruit ripening including the latest molecular
mechanisms regulating fruit ripening, its impact on human nutrition
and emerging research and technologies.
