Abstract

Climate change has increased potential problems for peach production in northern regions. Peach breeders will need to search available germplasm for promising combinations of parents to improve cold hardiness and disease resistance. Tools such as marker-assisted breeding and controlled temperature evaluation will be important to make rapid progress.
