Building on the well-received Plant Tissue Culture: Concepts and Laboratory Exercises, Plant Development and Biotechnology possesses the added value of including material on developmental biology, plant molecular biology, and genetic engineering. Divided into six major parts, the book covers everything from the history of plant tissue and cell culture to propagation and development concepts to crop improvement techniques. The book serves as a useful reference for protocols needed in the daily operations of tissue culture research laboratories.

Alternating between topic discussions and hands-on laboratory experiments that range from the in vitro flowering of roses to tissue culture of ferns, Plant Tissue Culture Concepts and Laboratory Exercises, Second Edition, addresses the most current principles and methods in plant tissue culture research.

The editors use the expertise of some of the top researchers and educators in plant biotechnology to furnish students, instructors and researchers with a broad consideration of the field. Divided into eight major parts, the text covers everything from the history of plant...

Under the vast umbrella of Plant Sciences resides a plethora of highly specialized fields. Botanists, agronomists, horticulturists, geneticists, and physiologists each employ a different approach to the study of plants and each for a different end goal. Yet all will find themselves in the laboratory engaging in what can broadly be termed biotechnology.

Addressing a wide variety of related topics, Plant Tissue Culture, Development, and Biotechnology gives the practical and technical knowledge needed to train the next generation of plant...

Covering everything from the history of plant tissue and cell culture to propagation and development concepts to crop improvement techniques, this useful reference defines protocols needed in the daily operations of tissue culture research laboratories.
