Opis
Izvleček:Horticultural crops are excellent sources of carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, as well as a major source of most dietary antioxidants. With the growing world population and the effects of climate change, there is a need to enhance production and the quality of horticultural products. To meet future ecological and economic demands, conventional breeding methods, combined with new biological technologies such as the high throughput technologies, molecular markers, genetic engineering and genome editing and phenomics, have been widely applied to lead the improvement of yield, quality, abiotic and biotic stresses in horticultural crops and accelerate the development of new or improved cultivars. The purpose of this Reprint is to report the advances research for horticultural crops breeding and genetics, including 13 original research papers to highlight innovative research on improving horticultural crops, and to enrich the knowledge of various agronomic traits and functions of horticultural crops.
