摘要

ONE of my many roles as an Extension specialist has been to guide the peach breeding program co-funded by Michigan State University and the Michigan Peach Sponsors, a non-profit peach industry organization. At first look, peach breeding looks simple;it has been done by bees and other insects since flowers evolved millions of years ago. But I have found that a keen eye helps when humans become marriage counselors to peach trees.
