Abstract

Abstract Horticulture as the science and industry grew in parallel with the land grant system. From its beginnings as the science of fruit and vegetable production, the discipline branched into studies of floral and nursery crop production, landscape construction and maintenance, public gardening, floral design, and the study of human—plant interactions. Always retaining a close relationship with the fundamental plant sciences, horticulturalists of the twentieth century made major contributions to the study of plant anatomy, genetics, physiology, growth and development, metabolism and plant—environment interactions.
