Plant Cell Culture

Front Cover
Garland Science, 2003 - Nature - 194 pages

Plant cell culture is an essential methodology in plant sciences, with numerous variant techniques depending on the cell type and organism. Plant Cell Culture provides the reader with a concise overview of these techniques, including basic plant biology for cell culture, basic sterile technique and media preparation, specific techniques for various plant cell and tissue types including applications, tissue culture in agriculture, horticulture and forestry and culture for genetic engineering and biotechnology. This book will be an essential addition to any plant science laboratory's bookshelf.
