Overview

Robert Hall and a panel of expert researchers present a comprehensive collection of the most frequently used and broadly applicable techniques for plant cell and tissue culture.

Content and Coverage

Readily reproducible and extensively annotated, the methods cover culture initiation, maintenance, manipulation, application, and long-term storage, with emphasis on techniques for genetic modification and micropropagation.

Applications

Many of these protocols are currently used in major projects designed to produce improved varieties of important crop plants.

Significance

Plant Cell Culture Protocols's state-of-the-art techniques are certain to make the book today’s reference of choice, an indispensable tool in the development of new transgenic plants and full-scale commercial applications.
