Overview

In continuation of Volumes 8, 9, and 22 on in vitromanipulation of plant protplasts, this new volume deals withthe regeneration of plants from protoplasts and genetictransformation in various species of Actinidia, Amoracia, Beta, Brassica, Cicer, Citrus, Cucumis, Duboisia, Fragaria, Glycine, Ipomoea, Lactuca, Lotus, Lycopersicon, Manihot, Medicago, Nicotiana, Petunia, Phaseolus, Pisum, Prunus, Psophocarpus, Saccharum, Solanum, Sorghum, Stylosanthes, andVitis. These studies reflect the far-reaching implicationsof protoplast technology in genetic engineering of plants. They are of special interest to researchers in the field ofplant tissue culture, molecular biology, geneticengineering, and plant breeding.
