It gives an overview of the latest trends in temperate fruit  breeding in Europe and overseas. Three subjects were considered in  special workshops: durability of scab resistance in apple,  biotechnology and molecular markers. One important aim of modern fruit  breeding is stable resistance to pests and diseases. Molecular markers  might help to identify the genetic basis of important characters  related to disease and pest resistance and components of yield and  quality. Gene transfer has been successfully applied in several fruit  species. However, public opinion in many countries does not favour  this new technology and its products. Despite these new approaches,  traditional breeding methods still predominate; many aspects of  traditional breeding are considered in this book. \u003cbr\u003e  Genetic resources and their exploitation are dealt with in a special  chapter. Aspects of breeding minor crops such as walnut, almond,  hippophae, cornel, etc. are also considered.  \u003cem\u003eProgress in  Temperate\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eFruit Breeding\u003c\/em\u003e is meant for fruit breeders,  pomologists, lecturers, students and growers. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 February 2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9789401042093\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e472\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51213886849164,"sku":"9789401042093","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401042093.jpg?v=1782998138","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401042093","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
