Plant Cell And Tissue Culture

Description

In plants, the processes of differentiation and specialisation allow groups of cells that are structurally or functionally distinct to form tissues. Plant cell and tissue culture is the growth of plant cells, tissues, or organs in an artificial medium separate from the parent organism. Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation. This technique is used commercially to produce large numbers of plants of high quality for the agricultural and horticultural industries. This book covers the fundamentals of plant cell and tissue culture, including the techniques used, applications in plant breeding and improvement, and the commercial uses of plant tissue culture. It is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the fields of plant biology, biotechnology, and agriculture.
