The Biology of Apples and Pears
Biology of Apples and Pears is a comprehensive reference book on all aspects of pomology at the organ, tree and orchard level for researchers, students, fruit farmers and technical advisors. It describes the production of fruit with regard to key commercial factors, and under both temperate and tropical environmental conditions.
Fruit and Vegetables
The second edition of this very well-received book, which in itsfirst edition was entitled Postharvest Technology of Fruits andVegetables, has been welcomed by the community of postharvestphysiologists and technologists who found the first edition of suchgreat use. The book covers, in comprehensive detail, postharvestphysiology as it applies to postharvest quality, technologyrelating to maturity determination, harvesting, packaging,postharvest treatments, controlled atmosphere storage, ripening andtransportation on a very wide international range of fruits andvegetables. The new edition of this definitive work, which contains manyfull colour photographs, provides key practical andcommerciall...
Fruit and Vegetable Quality
Improved quality requires integration across business functions and scientific disciplines. Based on this premise, Fruit and Vegetable Quality: An Integrated View presents 15 unique perspectives on achieving greater quality and guidance for a more integrated approach to postharvest handling and fruit and vegetable research. Designed for anyone involved in the management, production, handling, distribution, or processing of fruits and vegetables, it provides concise descriptions of important issues, roadmaps to the literature in specific fields, assessments of current knowledge and research needs, and specific examples of product-based research. Your guide to the dynamic developments in integrating fruit and vegetable quality projects, Fruit and Vegetable Quality: An Integrated View also presents a range of options for achieving better coordination of research across scientific disciplines.
Horticultural Reviews, Volume 11
Horticultural Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on topics in horticultural science and technology covering both basic and applied research. Topics covered include the horticulture of fruits, vegetables, nut crops, and ornamentals. These review articles, written by world authorities, bridge the gap between the specialized researcher and the broader community of horticultural scientists and teachers.
Agri-food Quality II
The proceedings of an international conference in Turku, Finland, April 1998 on the quality management of plant-based food materials throughout the production chain from field to table. The 89 papers discuss developments in improving vegetable and fruit quality through plant breeding, modifying cultivation technology, and optimizing practices both before and after the harvest. The sessions cover quality challenges in the future, consumer attitudes to improving the quality of crops and food, sustainable production, the effects of post-harvest and pre- harvest practices on quality, quality assessment, and quality improvements and functional foods. Distributed in the US by Springer-Verlag at some $25 above the British price. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Fruit Quality and Its Biological Basis
Fruit technology draws on biology and engineering to maintain quality during storage, distribution, and marketing. This book focuses on the biological processes that determine appearance, texture, taste, nutritional value, and flavor of fleshy fruits. It also focuses on the ways by which these biological processes can be manipulated to maximize quality for the consumer. It discusses the advances in the understanding of these procedures at the molecular level and the mode of action and limitations of current technology for postharvest handling of fruits. A concluding chapter examines prospects for the genetic control of fruit development, composition, and quality.
Horticultural Reviews, Volume 6
Horticultural Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on topics in horticultural science and technology covering both basic and applied research. Topics covered include the horticulture of fruits, vegetables, nut crops, and ornamentals. These review articles, written by world authorities, bridge the gap between the specialized researcher and the broader community of horticultural scientists and teachers.
Growth Control in Woody Plants
The processes and mechanisms that control the growth of woody plants are of crucial importance for both economic and biological reasons. The comprehensive coverage of Growth Control in Woody Plants includes discussion of the growth controlling factors in both reproductive structures (flowers, fruit, seeds, pollen, etc.) and vegetative organs (stems, branches, leaves, and roots). Other major topics covered include seed germination, seedling growth, physiological and environmental regulation of growth, cultural practices, and biotechnology.This comprehensive treatment of the many factors that control the growth of woody plants can serve both as a valuable text and as a frequently used reference.* Includes comprehensive representation of a broad subject* Provides thorough bibliographic coverage * Well illustrated* Serves as a vital companion to Physiology of Woody Plants, Second Edition
Breeding for Fruit Quality
The global demand for high quality fruits that are rich in nutrients and that can endure the demands of worldwide supply chains is growing rapidly. Fruits are an important component of the human diet, providing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. All of these qualities contribute to the nutritional needs and health maintenance of humans. Breeding for Fruit Quality reviews the application of modern plant breeding methods to the development of improved varieties of fruits. Breeding for Fruit Quality opens with chapters that look at fruit biology and breeding strategies behind specific traits, including a look at traits such as organoleptic quality, nutritional value, and improved yiel...
