2 FOREWORD

It is a great pleasure to welcome all of you, interested in fruit breeding and genetics, at the XIII Eucarpia Symposium in Warsaw. We are happy to have an opportunity to host the specialists from all over the world!

Conventional breeding of new fruit cultivars faces many limitations, like a very long juvenile period of seedlings, large extension of land to grow them and a large size of a progeny to be screened. New cultivar ought to satisfy expectations not only consumer, but also fruit growers, commercial and industrial sectors. Modern molecular techniques enable to overcome these limitations. We meet together to share knowledge and experiences and exchange ideas. This should help to develop new, more efficient breeding programmes and open new perspectives. I wish fruitful debates at the sessions and inspiring discussions in lobbies as well! On this occasion I take also the to thank to all the members of the Organizing, as well as the Scientific and Editorial Committee for their large-hearted co-operation in organizing the Symposium.

Finally I wish you meeting old friends, establishing new friendships and an overall pleasant stay in our city!
