Mankind depends on near about 5000 plant species worldwide to meet food and other needs. This number is just a fraction of total world flora of 2.5 lakh species of mosses ferns conifers and flowering plants. More than 50 000 plant species are yet to be documented. Today only about 150 plant species are important in meeting the food (calories) needs of humans world wide. There is still greater dependence on a few plant species 20 to 30 in global context. Horticultural crops encompass fruit crops vegetables ornamentals plantation crops spices aromatic and medicinal plants tuber crops and mushrooms. Temperate subtropical and tropical horticultural crops are characterised by their adoption to varying ecology and land use patterns. The present volume Biodiversity in Horticultural Crops has 18 chapters contributed by eminent scientists working in the respective crops. Biodiversity is conceived as gift of nature for sustainability nutritional security and above all to widen the food basket. Man lives not for food alone but to enjoy nature's gifts fruits vegetables flowering plants foliages and so on. Genes for desirable traits are embedded in biodiversity and as such the present the volume throws open horticultural bioresources to human benefit. The present volume emphasises current and widely grown horticultural crops in India in all its biodiversity. 364 pp. …
