Description
This fully revised, expanded and updated edition relates the production and utilization of these familiar and important vegetable crops to the many aspects of plant science underpinning their production and storage technologies.

Chapters cover species and crop types, plant structure, genetics and breeding, physiology of growth, and development as well as pests and diseases, production agronomy, storage after harvest, and the biochemistry of flavor, storage carbohydrates and colour and how this relates to nutritional and health benefits.

From this wide perspective it is possible to see many examples where underlying scientific knowledge illuminates, explains and can improve agronomic practice. The reader will get an insight into how molecular methods are revolutionizing the study of taxonomy, genetics, pathology, and physiology and how these methods are being applied in the breeding of improved crops.
