gives an exhaustive account of plant cell culture and genetic transformation, including detailed chapters on all major field and plantation crops.
presents a comprehensive coverage of all necessary laboratory techniques for the initiation, nutrition, maintenance and storage of plant cell and tissue cultures, including discussions on these topics, as well as on morphogenesis and regeneration, meristem and shoot tip culture, plant protoplasts, mutant cell lines, variation in tissue cultures, isogenic lines, fertilization control, cryopreservation, transformation, and the production of secondary metabolites.
then proceeds into detail on the specific culture of specific crops, including cereals, legumes, vegetables, potatoes, other roots and tubers, oilseeds, temperate fruits, tropical fruits, plantation crops, forest trees and ornamentals.
is, and is likely to remain, the laboratory manual of choice, as well as a source of inspiration and a guide to all workers in the field.
