Plant tissue culture in one form or another has become one of the most promising branches of plant science. Arising from the totipotency of plant cells, it now occupies a key position in plant breeding, plant propagation and plant biotechnology. Plant Tissue Culture - Basic and Applied brings to the student accessible, up-to-date information on this subject. Basic knowledge of tissue culture methods such as isolation of suitable tissues from the mother plant, maintenance of the tissues under in vitro condition in an undifferentiated or de-differentiated stage, methods of genetic engineering and gene transfer, chromosomal studies and the handling of in vitro micro plants are described in detail in this book. Similarly, application aspects of micropropagation, haploid cell culture, protoplast culture, embryo culture, somatic embryogenesis and artificial seeds are also discussed.
