Publisher's Synopsis
Discusses the evolution of various fruit crops and their genetic resources. Considering that the interspecific hybridisation has played an important role in the evolution of fruit crops ,and further that commercial cultivars have been developed through wide hybridisation, methods for overcoming pre- and post-zygotic barriers in hybridisation have been described which will guide breeders in designing hybridisation programs accordingly.
This book will be useful to both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as teachers and researchers in the field of fruit breeding.
