In this talk, Professor Jim Giovannoni (Boyce Thompson Institute (BTI), Cornell University) gives a presentation on Exploring genome diversity & targeted genetic modification to study and improve horticultural crops.

 

The AAB Horticultural Quality and Food Loss Specialist Group organised a two-day event titled 'Horticultural Science: From Discovery to Application' that brought together researchers working on both fundamental and applied research in Horticultural Crops. This event was a collaboration between the AAB and Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology (JHSB), who are celebrating publication of 100 annual volumes.

The JHSB enters its second century with a rising impact factor, attracting worldwide authorship and readership and a firm financial platform. The JHSB is an independent publication not linked to a learned society and its charitable objectives are: “to advance research into the science and practice of agriculture with particular reference to horticulture and assist in the dissemination of the results of the that research work by the publication of a Journal”.
