| Abstract:
The Programme Committee of the XXIst INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTURAL CONGRESS in Hamburg decided in consultation with the ISHS, to publish the papers of the most actual topics presented during this Congress, in 10 volumes in the series of Acta Horticulturae. As was agreed that the publishing should be realised in the first half of 1983, a number of authors did not succeed in having their paper ready for submission in time, so unfortunately a few had to be left out. The Programme Committee as well as the ISHS are very grateful for the work done by the convener of this Acta, number 140, titled "Fruit Breeding". In a meeting held at Hamburg during the XXIst International Horticultural Congress on Thursday 2 September 1982, all the EUCARPIA members (Fruit Breeding Section) have requested the printing of all the papers dealing with top and soft fruit breeding in a special issue. All the authors involved in such papers have been invited to write their talk. This issue, Acta Horticulturae 140, includes all the papers I have received. This Acta has been realized thanks to the understanding and kindness of the Secretariat of ISHS. On behalf of everybody concerned, I thank thank them very much. | |
