The conventional breeding of fruits and fruit trees has led to the improvement of consumer-
driven traits such as fruit size, yield, nutritional properties, aroma and taste, as well as the …

Genome editing provides a unique opportunity to create produce benefiting consumers, but
success depends on risk-proportional regulation. Existing seedless fruit varieties such as …

Postharvest waste and loss of horticultural crops exacerbates the agricultural problems
facing humankind and will continue to do so in the next decade. Fruits and vegetables …

Plant breeding, one of the oldest agricultural activities, parallels human civilization. Many
crops have been domesticated to satisfy human's food and aesthetical needs, including …

Food security and crop production are challenged worldwide due to overpopulation,
changing environmental conditions, crop establishment failure, and various kinds of post …

The new plant breeding technologies (NPBTs) have recently emerged as powerful tools in
the context of 'green'biotechnologies. They have wide potential compared to classical …

The improvement of woody fruit species by traditional plant breeding techniques has several
limitations mainly caused by their high degree of heterozygosity, the length of their juvenile …

Genetic engineering based on Agrobacterium-mediated transformation has been a
