The seventh edition of this book continues the gradual reorganization and the updating of biological concepts that underlie the practical application of the existing plant propagation technology. This remarkably thorough book covers all aspects of the propagation of plants—both sexual and asexual— with considerable attention given to human efforts to increase plant numbers.
The text explains art of propagation, science of propagation, and knowledge of specific kinds of plants and the particular methods by which those plants must be propagated. In this book biotechnology is introduced as three separate branches: (a) cell and tissue culture technology, (b) gene marker technology, and (c) recombinant gene technology.
It includes in-depth text boxes to separate more advanced topics or to highlight specific key terminology. An added feature to the seventh edition is a student CD supplement that includes expanded definitions and images for over 200 terms used in plant propagation. The CD is packaged free in the back of each new text and provides an interactive supplement to the text that allows students to see additional color images, animations, tutorials, and video clips related to propagation. A large number of diagrams, and tables, enhance the value of the text.
This is a very useful textbook for students of horticulture in agricultural universities/colleges.ISBN 9788120331457
