Life science has experienced a unique level of growth and development in recent times, as has the area of fruit crop regulation. Hence, the authors have been inspired to write this book entitled Advances in Growth Regulation of Fruit Crops. There are limited books with advanced knowledge on the growth and development of fruit crops, and therefore, there is a need for greater information to be made available about basic and advanced concepts of growth and regulation vis-a-vis fruit development. Growth regulation of fruit crops is a multifaceted and dynamic subject that requires simplified form so that the students pursuing UG (B.Sc) in Horticulture or Life Sciences or PG (M.Sc. and Doctorate) in Fruit Science or Pomology can understand the concepts easily. Our primary target is to upgrade students' knowledge base by providing the latest information to researchers. We hope it will help further knowledge about advances in the growth regulation of fruit crops. This book has been designed with the dual purpose of being a text cum reference. This book contains 20 crucial topics, including an introduction to the growth and development of fruit crops; eco-physiological influences on the growth and development of fruit crops – flowering and fruit set; phloem transport: source and sink; crop load and assimilate partitioning and distribution; root and canopy regulation of fruit crops; plant growth regulators – structure, biosynthesis and mode of action; plant growth inhibitors and growth retardants – metabolic and morphogenetic effects; absorption, translocation and degradation of phytohormones; growth manipulation through canopy architecture; growth regulation aspects of propagation; embryogenesis; seed and bud dormancy; physiology of flowering; regulation of flowering and off-season production; flower drop and thinning; fruit set and development; fruit drop and parthenocarpy; pre-harvest factors affecting post-harvest fruit quality; fruit maturity, ripening and storage; and molecular approaches in crop growth regulation.

In a nutshell, this book is written with the objective of scientific appraisal of the advances in the growth and development of fruit crops.
