Overview

This volume, Plant Tissue Culture Engineering, signals a turning point: the recognition that this specialized field of plant science must be integrated with engineering principles in order to develop efficient, cost effective and large scale applications of these technologies. A diverse team of key researchers, technologists and engineers have joined to describe in a lucid manner how various engineering disciplines can contribute to the improvement of plant tissue culture techniques and transform it to a technology. The volume contains 5 parts: Machine vision systems for non-invasive and objective evaluation of cultures Innovative bioreactor technologies and its engineering bases Mechanized and/or automated culture processes Engineering cultural environment Physical aspects of plant tissue culture engineering Readers of this volume will find a unique collection of chapters that will focus their attention on the interface of plant biotechnologies and engineering technologies. This volume will be of use to graduate students, teachers and research workers in the fields of horticulture, agricultural botany and plant biotechnology in general and also to individuals who with or without engineering background are interested in industrial plant tissue culture.

Reviews

From the reviews: Plant Tissue Culture Engineering brings the engineering-plant tissue culture link to a new dimension of understanding. The editors have excelled in weaving an exquisite mosaic of plant tissue culture themes that are more than important -- they are central -- in the understanding of their engineering principles. I, as a scientist constantly in need of novelties to improve my own tissue culture production systems, found this book to be of tremendous value. It brought new insights, new techniques, and most importantly new inspiration for new research ideas. ! I would not hesitate in recommending Plant Tissue Culture Engineering as an excellent supplement to a good tissue culture book. Most definitely students, researchers and professionals alike would benefit from the knowledge containted in these pages. Jaime A. Teixeira da Silva, Global Plant Letters, Issue 1:2 This volume successfully covers a broad remit, bringing together acknowledged experts and consisting of 24 chapters, structured under the headings of Machine Vision, Bioreactor Technology, Mechanised Propagation Systems, Engineering the Cultural Environment and Physical Aspects of Plant Tissue Engineering. Several chapters will be of broad interest to plant tissue culture laboratories ! . is a very interesting and extensive volume, within which there are chapters of essential reading for anyone involved in either commercial plant tissue culture, or research into understanding fundamental plant developmental processes. (Steve Millam, Experimental Agriclture, Vol. 43, 2007) This book is the sixth volume of the series 'Focus on Biotechnology' edited by M. Hofman and J. Anze. ! This comprehensive book with many tables and figures can serve not only as up-to date source of information for researchers and teachers in the area of plant biotechnology but it also open up new vistas in this field. (J. PospiA!ilova, Biologia Plantarum, Vol. 51 (3), 2007)
