Plant propagation by tissue culture v. 1 The background

The first edition of ‘Plant Propagation by Tissue Culture’ by Edwin F. Georgeappeared in 1986. A second edition consisting of two volumes appeared in 1993and 1996. For researchers and students, George’s books have become the standard works on in vitro plant propagation. The volumes also contain a wealth of information for researchers and companies working in related areas; particularly plant breeding, genetic engineering, phytopathology, production of secondarymetabolites and conservation. Scientific knowledge has expanded rapidly sincethe second edition and it would now be a daunting task for a single author tocover all aspects adequately. Therefore, in this third edition, topics are being covered by a number of specialists. However, this edition still maintains the integration that was characteristic of the previous editions. The first volume of the new edition highlights the scientific background of in vitro propagation. Provides an encyclopaedic coverage of plant tissue culture and its applications. Plant tissue culture, the topic of the book, is one of the pillars of plant biotechnology. Merges applied aspects and basic science. Both for people new in the field and experienced researchers.
