Low Tree Height-Cultivation Technique for Durian and the Diversity of Genetic Resources for Breeding

摘要

Durian, the king of fruits, represents high-value tropical fruits in Southeast Asia. Thailand has the biggest production of durian (about one million tons) followed by Malaysia (about 400 thousand tons). Five to ten percent of these fruits are exported. Durian constitutes more than 30% of the total fruit-growing areas in Malaysia indicating that durian is the most important fruit tree in Malaysia.
