The third volume of this essential series furnishes information on the availability of germplasm resources and their diversity that breeders can exploit for producing high-yielding vegetable crop varieties. Written by leading international experts, it offers the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on genetic resources and their utilization for increasing the yield of those vegetable crops that provide a main source of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants.
