Fruit ripening is of importance for human health and for industry-based strategies to harness natural variation, or genetic modification, for crop improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book covers recent advances in the field of plant genomics and how these discoveries can be exploited to understand evolutionary processes and the complex network of hormonal and genetic control of ripening. The book explains the physiochemical and molecular changes in fruit that impact its quality, and recent developments in understanding of the genetic, molecular and biochemical basis for colour, flavour and texture. It is a valuable resource for plant and crop researchers and professionals, agricultural engineers, horticulturists, and food scientists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSummary:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews the physiochemical and molecular changes in fruit which impact flavour, texture, and colour\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers recent advances in genomics on the genetic, molecular, and biochemical basis of fruit quality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrates information on both hormonal and genetic control of ripening\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelevant for basic researchers and applied scientists\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGraham B.
