Description
First published thirty years ago, Plants from Test Tubes has become the standard work on in vitro propagation, with its fourth edition now thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest advances in science and technology.
This comprehensive guide covers the five accepted sequential stages of micropropagation, as well as ten new plant species, and explores topics such as embryo culture, somaclonal variation, anther culture, somatic embryogenesis, cryopreservation, and genetic engineering.
With its expanded bibliography and numerous new illustrations, including a chronology of discoveries in micropropagation, this book provides a detailed and authoritative introduction to micropropagation, making it an essential resource for anyone involved in plant breeding, horticulture, or scientific research.
