Flavor breed effects

As genetic understanding develops, it will be incorporated into basic breeding programs that are concerned with such characteristics as yield, growth habit, insect and disease resistance, flavor, and texture. These programs will be most effective if present ambient ozone and other oxidant concentrations do not increase. 

Another approach could be to breed cultivates with the aim of enriching the flavor content significantly. It is certainly valuable exploring the opinion of flavor enriching fruits by specific breeding. This could lead to cost-effective production of all natural from-the-name-material (FTNM) derived flavors. In this way, the rather laborious precursor or in vivo approach using microbes and enzymes can be substituted by an even more environmentally friendly in vivo or in planta approach [104].
