New discoveries in all fields of physiology and ecology of fruits reveal high complexity but also inevitable interrelation with other scientific branches and, particularly current, new biotechnologies. Acquisition of new knowledge within the comprehensive and very complex field of fruit physiology shall be presented through the following chapters: new biotechnologies in fruit growing; mineral fertilization - with emphasis on the foliar fertilization; stress physiology; new aspects of fruit pollination and fertilization; heat regime as a factor of phenological dynamics, cropping and fruit zoning.Nova otkrića u svim oblastima fiziologije i ekologije voćaka pokazuju svu kompleksnost, ali i nezaobilaznu interakciju sa dragim naučnim granama i posebno aktuelnim, novim bio-tehnologijama. Ta nova saznanja u obimnoj i veoma složenoj oblasti kakva je fiziologija voćaka biće prezentovana kroz sledeća poglavlja: nove bio-tehnologije u voćarstvu; mineralna ishrana - sa osvrtom na folijama ishranu; fiziologija stresa; novi aspekti oplođenja voćaka i; toplotni režim kao činilac fenološke dinamike, rodnosti i prostornog zoniranja voćaka
