The last two decades has been the most exciting period in cucurbit genetic, genomic, and breeding research especially for cucumber, melon, and watermelon. In addition, cucumber became the first cucurbit to be sequenced, after other field crops such as rice, sorghum, soybean, and maize. In thirteen chapters by 34 internationally renowned scientists,

This book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of the genetics and genomics of the agriculturally important Cucurbitaceae plant family, which includes crops such as watermelon, melon, cucumber, summer and winter squashes, pumpkins, and gourds. Recent years have resulted in tremendous increases in our knowledge of these species due to large scale genomic and transcriptomic studies and production of draft genomes for the four major species, Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo, Cucumis sativus, and Cucurbita spp. This text examines genetic resources and structural and functional genomics for each species group and across species groups. In addition, it explores genomic-informed understanding and commonalities in cucurbit biology with respect to vegetative growth, floral development and sex expression, fruit growth and development, and important fruit quality traits.

“Bioprocessing in Food Science” is a series of volumes covering the entirety of unit operations in food processing. This latest volume disseminates the recent advances, breakthroughs, and challenges of the valorization of fruit and vegetable industry waste. Numerous researchers have studied fruit and vegetable processing and waste valorization in general, but there is little work available to scientists and engineers regarding real-world solutions to practical everyday problems in this industry. The knowledge has to be made available in book format to facilitate academia, researchers, and the food manufacturing industry to utilize waste for extraction of valuable polysaccharides, additives, and nutraceuticals. This groundbreaking new volume is a comprehensive compilation of all the research that has been carried out so far, their practical applications, and the future scope of research. An earnest effort to capture every possible detail and present an up-to-date compilation of scientific literature, including their own research work, for the benefit of the science has been carried out by the editors and experts in their respective fields who contributed. Students, researchers, product developers, and industry professionals will find the book an invaluable resource and a one-of-a-kind tool.

Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.
