Horticulture continues to provide variety, color and flavor to the foods we eat, enriches our lives with many aesthetically appealing products, and adds to sustaining a healthy environment. Biotechnology is introducing new tools to advance the many benefits of horticulture. This review explores some of the benefits of horticulture and provides examples of successes being realized in agricultural biotechnology. The review also introduces some of the exciting work that may some day be available for consumers. Afuture that includes more nutritious fruits and vegetables; fragrant and more colorful flowers; a broader selection of indoor plants; and thicker, greener lawns that require less mowing and water are quickly becoming more than just a vision. We hope after reading this text, you feel the same way. doi:10.1300/J411v17n01_01 [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
