The most important objectives, methods and results of peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch.] breeding worldwide are presented in this paper. Among the goals of breeding, special attention is paid to features that affect the reduction of production costs and diversification for the consumer. The methods discussed are the hybridization, inbreeding, clonal selection, induced mutation and new methods in biotechnology. An overview of a large number of breeding programs and their most important results are introduced by individual countries and continents. Results of work on creation of new peach and nectarine cultivars intended for fresh consumption are especially emphasized. Although the peach improvement achieved very significant results in many countries of the world its breeding is still working intensively.
