From the reviews:
“This book … is concerned with the potential utility of wild germplasm in temperate fruit crop improvement. … The use of wild relatives in breeding is an area of great interest and activity for many fruit breeders, especially with the assistance of molecular tools. … this volume provides an excellent source of information about the relevant species and how they might be utilised by breeders in the future. The production is of a high standard, with an extensive bibliography in each chapter.” (Rex Brennan, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 48 (1), 2012)Editors and Affiliations
