Overview"""Plant Cell and Tissue Culture"" gives an account of plant cell culture and genetic transformation, including detailed chapters on all major field and plantation crops. Part A 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. Part B then gives details of the specific in vitro culture of certain crops, including cereals, legumes, vegetables, potatoes, other roots and tubers, oilseeds, temperate fruits, tropical fruits, plantation crops, forest trees and ornamentals. ""Plant Cell and Tissue Culture"" should be a useful laboratory manual as well as a guide to all workers in the field." Full Product DetailsAuthor: Indra K. Vasil , Trevor A.
