Genetic Resources of Tropical Fruits

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Conservation and Utilization of Horticultural Genetic Resources

Abstract

Tropical regions are known for their rich diversity of fruit crops with different tree species and their wild relatives. The importance of fruit tree species is increasing day by day due to its contribution to food and nutrition, ecosystem and environment sustainability and empowerment of poor and their livelihoods. The conservation of the genetic resources of fruit tree species in their centres of origin and genetic diversity is not only for its effective utilization but also to maintain its evolution potential. However, the regions rich in fruit genetic diversity are threatened by loss of habitat, urbanization, industrialization and changes in agricultural practices. Domestication and spread of these tree species helps to broaden the secondary or tertiary gene pool and evolution of genes adapting to the newer agro-ecological conditions and biotic/abiotic stresses. Nevertheless, the limited utilization of the diversity creates an urgent need for exploration and conservation. Adopting traditional methods along with complementary approaches will provide a sustainable and evolution friendly conservation of genetic resources. Utilization of these genetic resources, directly or indirectly (including in breeding programme) will improve the economic and social status of several communities; this will in turn contribute to the national social, cultural and economic betterment.

With this general background, we focus in this chapter on a few tree fruit crops which were introduced a few hundred years ago, which had a chance to evolve and adopt to new agroclimatic conditions in the country, such as papaya, pomegranate, grapes, pineapple and sapota. These tree crops are well acclimatized to this region and have become an integral part of the social, cultural, and economic life of the local people. The utilization of these fruit crops at the domesticated region increased tremendously and at times crossed the regions from where they originated. Thus, the conservation of these fruit crops at the secondary or tertiary gene pool helps to avoid the risk of genetic erosion and assist in the preservation of novel traits. In order to improve the available germplasm to meet the local needs, enrichment of germplasm is essential. The knowledge about the tree crop, its origin, diversity, distribution, taxonomy and botany will help the breeder to choose the appropriate parent and breeding strategy.
