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. 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. Many of these protocols are currently used in major projects designed to produce improved varieties of important crop plants. Plant Cell Culture Protocolss state-of-the-art techniques are certain to make the book todays reference of choice, an indispensable tool in the development of new transgenic plants and full-scale commercial applications.
