Piperaceae is an economically important plant family. Members of this family grow in tropical forests from South Asia to Tropical America, including those of Africa and Australia. Several Piper spp. from India, southeast Asia and Africa are of economic importance since they are used as spices and traditional medicines. Many plant families have a global distribution, but a few have the rich ethnobotanical and ethno pharmaceutical history of Piperaceae. The pepper family Piperaceae in the order Piperales is commercially important because of Piper nigrum L. the source of black and white pepper. Betel leaf is another economically important product obtained from piper betle. The family comprises about 5 genera of which 2-Piper (about 2,000 species) and Peperomia (about 1,600 species)- are the most important. The plants grow as herbs vines shrubs, and trees and are widely distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics. The Piper belte L. P longum L. P. chaba Hunter are the some of the other important members of Piperacea family. The book contains useful information on various aspects of the family starting from taxonomy, botany cultivation to the medicine uses.

Zingiberaceae or ginger family is the largest family of the order Zingiberales containing about 53 genera and more than 1, 300 species consisting of aromatic perennial herbs. Commercial Zingiberaceous spices traded are ginger, turmeric, cardamom and large cardamom. Ornamental ginger is a diverse group of plants that are gaining importance in the floriculture trade as cut flowers, flowering pot plants and landscape plants. Herbs of the Zingiberaceae family have been used in the tradition of Ayurveda from a very early period in its evolutionary history. Cardamom, ginger, turmeric and greater galangal or blue ginger figure prominently amongst several other crops mentioned in the classical text books of Ayurveda. The monograph covers all aspects of Zingiberaceae in sixteen chapters.

India is the largest producer of mango banana coconut cashew nuts ginger turmeric and black pepper and the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables. India accounts for 10 per cent of the world fruit production and is the second largest producer of vegetables with 113.0 mt. contributing to 14.4% of total world production. The area and production of flowers spices and condiments mushrooms coconut and cashew also indicated three fold increases in last few decades. The rapid technological advances in varietal improvement made by ten central institutes 27 regional centers 6 directorates 7 national research centers and 14 AICRPs with 223 centres and three full fledged horticulture universities existing across the country have led to development to nearly 1500 improved varieties of horticultural crops numbering about 130 since fifties. Similarly all these institutes maintain a large gene pool in the form of genetic resources. The information would be of great use to students researchers and industry. The present book is a compilation of all the varieties developed in different horticultural crops detailing their specific traits along with the breeding methodology used to develop them. Every crop is dealt with a brief account of breeding methods followed by the varieties developed in the country. There are information on the varieties developed using various breeding methods. 564 pp.
