This volume offers a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge developments in horticultural science. This authoritative collection features expert reviews on the molecular genetics and genomics of key species, including faba bean, tomato, celery, lily, and broccoli, elucidating the mechanisms behind yield, quality, and bioactive compounds. The volume also explores innovative and sustainable cultivation techniques, with in-depth analyses of controlled environment agriculture for leafy greens, the use of organic substrates, and the sensory implications of sustainable practices for Brassica oleracea. Crucial insights into the molecular control of pre- and post-harvest traits, this essential text provides researchers, students, and professionals with a forward-looking synthesis of modern horticultural science and its practical applications.
