About the Book

The Peach provides a comprehensive up to date reference work, summarizing our knowledge of peaches and their production worldwide and includes an extensive colour plates section. Chapters written by international authorities address botany and taxonomy, breeding and genetics of cultivars and rootstocks, propagation, physiology and planting systems, crop and pest management and postharvest physiology. The book also includes a contribution on the history of cultivation and production trends in China with historical references dating back to 1100 BC for the first time in the English language.

About the Author :
Ted DeJong is emeritus professor at the University of California at Davis, and has been doing research on fruit trees for 40 years. He has published about 300 scientific papers, most of which are on some aspect of the functioning of fruit trees. See his webpage at https://dejong.ucdavis.edu/ Rich Marini, PhD is a Professor of Horticulture with Penn State University, specializing in tree and small fruit physiology, data analysis and fruit production systems. Carlos H. Crisosto is Director of the Fruit and Nut Research and Information Center, UC Davis. The focus of his research and extension program is the postharvest biology and technology of fruits, especially peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, table grapes, figs, kiwifruits, olives, and persimmons, as well as pistachios, almonds and walnuts. The goal of his research program is to develop a better understanding of the orchard factors and postharvest factors that control fruit flavor and shelf life and to develop technology to overcome fruit industry problems. He applies genomic techniques to identify gene(s) responsible for fruit sensory attributes (both desirable and undesirable), and investigating physiological disorders such as chilling injury.

Review :
"The peach has, in this volume, been accorded a comprehensive and detailed coverage of the various aspects of its botany, breeding and cultivation. The editors have produced a unique and valuable reference work containing a wealth of information across all key areas of this fruit. It will be of great use to specialist researchers and libraries."--Experimental Agriculture "A useful purchase for researchers, extension personnel, students, fruit growers, horticultural libraries, and anyone with an interest in this seductive and succulent fruit."--Journal of the American Pomological Society K Yes "This book will be of significant interest to those working in horticulture and botany."--Fruits
