This supplement, containing six chapters, is the first in a series of important works designed to be integrated into the text of the Plant Tissue Culture Manual to maintain it as a valuable source of laboratory methodology

This manual comprises a broad range of techniques of value to research workers in the fields of cell and molecular biology, physiology, plant breeding and propagation, and genetic engineering.

This manual comprises a range of techniques for research workers in the fields of cell and molecular biology, physiology, plant breeding and propagation, and genetic engineering.

Plant tissue culture has a long history, dating back to the work of Gottlieb Haberlandt and others at the end of the 19th century, but the associated concepts and techniques have reached a level of usefulness and application which has never been greater. The technical innovations have given new insights into fundamental aspects of plant differentiation and development, and have paved the way to the identification of strategies for the genetic manipula tion of plants. It is the aim of this manual to deliver a broad range of these techniques in a form which is accessible to students and...
