Increasing consumer demand for low-input cultivation and minimal processing has significantly increased the risk of microbiological contamination of fresh produce. This both presents a health risk to consumers and undermines trust in the food supply chain from farm to fork.Advances in ensuring the microbiological safety of fresh produce reviews our current understanding of key pathogenic risks to fresh produce such as Salmonella, Listeria and E.coli

Comprehensive review of key topics in root science, including root architecture, root growth regulators, root anatomy and nutrient acquisitionCoverage of root response to both biotic and abiotic variablesDiscusses the range of techniques to optimize root function, from phenotyping to identify desirable root traits and exploiting the genetics of root traits to the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM)

Assesses performance of conventional techniques such as backcross and hybrid breeding in introducing new traitsMaps current progress in methods to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) linking phenotypic traits with genetic information for selectionShows comparative strengths and weaknesses of marker-assisted selection (MAS) techniques such as genome wide association studies (GWAS) and nested association mapping (NAM)
