Summary: "Major advances made during the last one decade in the field of plant tissue culture and biotechnology have been presented in this book. Plant tissue culture research is multi-dimensional. While most nurserymen have been introduced to the techniques and advantages of micropropagation, few have ventured to use it as a propagation tool. The applicability of micropropation for woody trees has been demonstrated as feasible since all aspects of the technology have confirmed the fact that the trees produced by the method look like and grow like their counterparts produced by traditional methods of cloning. One of the wildest applications of biotechnology has been in the area of tissue culture and micro propagation in particular. It is one of the most widely used techniques for rapid asexual in vitro propagation. This technique is economical in time and space affords greater output and provides disease free and elite propagules. It also facilities safer and quarantined movements of germplasm across nations. When the traditional methods are unable to meet the demand for propagation material this technique can produce millions of uniformly flowering and yielding plants. It is hoped that the wide range of authoritative review and views presented by the authors in this book will provide a useful and exciting stimulus to researchers and students in the field.".--Back cover
