摘 要:Plant breeders have been extremely successful at driving genetic improvements in ***,‘improvements’are truly a question of *** the last one-hundred years most plant genetic innovations have been driven by industry *** fruits,heavier yields,uniformity,increased resistance to disease and better shipping quality are just a few of the traits that have ensured profits on the farm and affordable food for ***,these milestones have come at the expense of sensory qualities,which have been sacrificed in exchange for practical production *** a base of industry-sufficient genetics,today’s breeders can now turn to the consumer for guidance in defining critical *** approaches to plant breeding start with the analysis of consumer preferences,and then merge them with modern genomics and analytical chemistry *** result is the next generation of crops that meet supply chain demands while presenting improvements in flavor,nutrition,color,aroma and *** review analyzes the approach of consumer-assisted selection as it has been applied to tomato and strawberry,two complementary annual crops that have been intensively bred to meet industry *** breeding efforts start with the consumer,with the objective of reclaiming lost sensory qualities.
