The present book has been written to fulfill the emergence of hue and cry for physical resources in the world which compriseland, water and the biological diversity. Management of landscapes for both production of food and conservation ofecosystem services and wild biodiversity forms the basis for eco-agriculture. In the regime of climate change, acceleratedplant genetic resource identification, collection of wild/weedy flora, inventrization, development of open pollinatedvarieties/hybrids, availability, assessment/refinement to maintain sustainability are focused in a comprehensive manner. Inthis book 1 6 different chapters are well designed to cover vegetable genetic resources, importance, utility and ethnobotanyalong with genetic resources of Solanaceous, Cucurbitaceous, Legume, Brassica, Leafy, Alliums, Root, Tuber, Okra, Aquatic,Rhizome, Salad/Garnish, Tree and other vegetable crops and its improvement. Under varietal wealth of vegetable cropssalient characteristic features are given in details to understand the status of breeding base products.This will prove to be a critical input in strengthening trait specific vegetable genetic resources (PGR), identification ofresponsible gene for biotic and abiotic stresses, mechanisms of sustainable utilization of landraces in development ofsuperior varieties and hybrids along with ongoing conservation programme at national and international organizations forfuture posterity. Apart from these, origin, distribution, diversity, species availability, botanical descriptions, horticulturalclassification, crop improvement and conservation are well highlighted. This book will be a milestone for stakeholders,researchers, breeders, teachers and conservators of India and abroad. It will cater the needs of B.Sc. (Agriculture), B.Sc.(Horticulture), M.Sc. and Ph.D. (Vegetable Science) students. Collection to conservation methodologies have beenelaborately dealt with, purposely to acquaint stakeholders to students with all aspects of vegetable genetic resources whichis the backbone of vegetable crop improvement program.
