This book contains reviews of vegetables in 12 chapters contributed by 31 authors from 10 countries. It covers tomato, lettuce, radish, carrot, beet, eggplant, cucurbits, onion, garlic and other crops included in Brassica rapa, Brassica oleracea, capsicums and cucurbits. It presents the impressive work that has been done on most of these crops. Genome projects already initiated on vegetable crops, particularly on Solanaceae and Brassicaceae species, may ignite further interest in other vegetables as well.

The huge amount of information hitherto dispersed in journals is now available in a clearly structured reference work Some 300 prominent scientists working in more than 30 countries with significant contributions on plant genome mapping and molecular breeding have authored the 82 chapters of the series Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
