Plant genetic resources are basic requirement in any crop improvement and their importance has increased in recent years. Genetic resources of horticultural crops now are offered as subject in graduate and postgraduate levels in all horticultural colleges. In view of this, the book "Genetic resources of horticulture crops" has been written primarily to serve as a text book for the students of B.Sc and M.Sc (Horticulture) as well as researchers. There is no specific book for genetic resouces of horticultural crops. Students are required to go through several horticulture books to have a knowlodge on plant genetic resources. It was therefore, thought that students should be provided a comprehensive book as per thei course requirements. This book covers, concepts of genetic resources, centre of origin and diversity, plant introduction, plant quarantine, conservation strategies, exploration, collection and exchange of germplasm, DNA fingerprinting, Intellectural property rights, source of resistance/tolerance for biotic and abiotic stresses, high yield and quality traits in vegetables, fruits, ornamentatls, planatation crops, spices, medicinal and aromatic plants.ISBN - 9788181892171
