Advances in Growth Regulation of Fruit Crops

Editat de Vishal Singh Rana, Neerja Rana, Sunny Sharma
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 apr 2025
During the last era, Life science has experienced unique progress, particularly in growth and development, and so is true with the regulation of fruit crops. Hence, the authors got an insight to write a book entitled "Advances in Growth Regulation of Fruit Crops". There are limited books with advanced knowledge on the growth and development of fruit crops. However, there needs to be more books on the basic and advanced concepts of growth and regulation vis-a-vis fruit development. Growth and regulation of fruit crops is a multifaceted and dynamic subject that requires simplified form so that the students pursuing UG (B.Sc. Horticulture/life Sciences) or PG (Masters and Doctorate) in Fruit Science or Pomology could understand the concepts easily. Our primary target is to upgrade students' knowledge base by providing the latest information to the researchers. Some of the reasons have prompted us to write this book, and we hope it will help further the knowledge about advances in the growth regulation of fruit crops. The book has been designed with the primary consideration to serve a dual purpose of being a text cum reference. The entire book contains 20 crucial topics, including an introduction to the growth and development of fruit crops; eco-physiological influences on the growth and development of fruit crops- flowering and fruit set; phloem transport: source and sink; crop load and assimilate partitioning and distribution.; root and canopy regulation of fruit crops; plant growth regulators - structure, biosynthesis and mode of action; plant growth inhibitors and growth retardants- metabolic and morphogenetic effects; absorption, translocation and degradation of phytohormones; growth manipulation through canopy architecture; growth regulation aspects of propagation; embryogenesis; seed and bud dormancy; physiology of flowering; regulation of flowering and off-season production; flower drop and thinning; fruit set and development; fruit drop & parthenocarpy; pre-harvest factors affecting postharvest fruit quality; fruit maturity, ripening and storage and molecular approaches in crop growth regulation.
 In nut shells, this book is written with the objective of scientific appraisal of the advances in the growth and development of Fruit crops.

Notă biografică

Dr Vishal Singh Rana obtained his Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from CSKHPKV, Himachal Pradesh in 1989 and M.Sc. (Hort.) Post Harvest technology from Asia’s first horticulture and Forestry university, Dr YSP University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, in 1992 in first division. He earned Ph.D. in Pomology from Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, in 1997. He has been awarded ICAR-JRF and ICAR-NET in Fruit Science in the year 1993 and 1995. Dr. Rana has contributed significantly in the field of education and Research, who guided under-graduate as class in charge and post-graduate students as major advisor (20-M.Sc. and 6-Ph.D.). He has been actively involved in the restructuring of UG and PG course curriculum of horticulture, and prepared 3 practical manuals, more than 70 research paper in reputed journals, 20 book chapters, and presented 40 papers in National/ International seminar/symposia/workshop. Dr. Rana has also made remarkable contributions in horticulture research like different orchard management aspects like fertigation, pollination, crop regulation, canopy management and rejuvenation of senile orchards. He has handled many state funded as well as externally funded projects. He is also life member of many Societies and peer reviewer of many reputed Horticultural journals like Indian journal of Horticulture. He has 23 years research experience on fruit crop and has standardized the production technologies for quality production of fruit crop in mid-Himalayan region. Besides this, he has also developed rejuvenation techniques for senile peach orchards through judicious use of nutrients and pruning intensities. At present, Dr. Rana is engaged in standardizing the use of organic inputs in kiwifruit and developing of new kiwifruit cultivars through selection/hybridization
Dr. Neerja Rana obtained her Bachelor of Science with medical subjects from Himachal Pradesh University, Himachal Pradesh  (H.P) in 1991 and M.Sc. in Biochemistry from Dr YSP University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, in 1994 with first division. She earned Ph.D. in Forestry (Biochemistry) from Forest Research Institute, Dehradun in 1999. She has been awarded World Bank Fellowship by Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education during her Ph.D. programme. Dr Rana joined Assistant Biochemist in the Department of Vegetable Science, Dr YSP University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh for about 9 years under All India Coordinated Project on Spices. She worked for the improvement of Ginger and turmeric under this project. Consequently she joined Department of Basic Science as Assistant Professor (Biochemistry) in August, 2009. She is actively engaged in UG and PG teaching, research and extension work since last 21 years. Presently she is guiding M.Sc. and Ph.D. students in the field of Microbial biochemistry. She has about published 75 research papers, 15 book chapters, 4 manuals and presented 16 papers in National/ International seminar/ symposia/ workshop.
