Ornamental crops are a major global industry, yet most breeding work happens in the private sector and little genetic or genomic information about them is publicly available. This collection, from Johan Van Huylenbroeck, gathers research papers on new breeding methods, novel cultivars and species entering the ornamental industry, the identification of genes behind new traits, and technological advances in the field. It covers approaches ranging from traditional crossing and selection to interspecific and intergeneric crosses and next-generation sequencing for improving ornamental plants. It suits plant breeders, horticultural scientists, and researchers working in ornamental plant genetics.
