This book is the first single author work to be published for more than thirty years that provides a broad, balanced review of our scientific knowledge of strawberries. This title covers aspects from taxonomy, ecology, morphology and genetics to environmental physiology, disease and pest control, fruit ripening, storage and processing.

Beginning with a description of the processes of evolution in native and cultivated plants, this fully updated edition reviews the origins of crop domestication and their subsequent development over time. It discusses all major crop species, from their origins to conservation of their genetic resources for future development.
