Preface
Thisbookisintendedtobeabriefcompilationoftheinformationavailableonthe
breedingoftemperatefruitcrops.Thegoalistoprovideoverviewsontheevolution
ofeachcrop,thehistoryofdomestication,thebreedingmethodsemployedandthe
underlying genetics. A serious effort is made to fully integrate conventional and
biotechnologicalbreeding approaches. A discussion is also provided on licensing
andpatenting.

ThismanuscriptisinmanyregardsanupdateoftheinformationfoundinFruit
Breeding,Volumes1and2,editedbyJ.JanickandJ.N.Moore(1996).Themajor
differenceisthatmuchmoremolecularinformationisnowavailableonfruitcrops.
Molecular linkage maps have been producedfor many of the commercialspecies
and the first quantitative trait loci are being tagged and selected through marker
assistedbreeding.Regenerationandtransformationsystemsareavailableformany
ofthefruitcropsandpotentiallyusefulgeneshavebeenclonedandcharacterized.
Fruitbreederswill soon haveall the tools in their toolboxthat the grainbreeders
havehadforoveradecade.
Theatmosphererevolvingaroundfruitbreedershasalsochangedinanothersig-
nificant way since Janick and Moore’s book. While fruit breeding has long been
conductedmostprominentlyinthepublicdomain,privatecompanieshavebecome
