Plant Cell Culture Protocols
Edited by Robert D. Hall - CPRO-DLO, Wageningen, The
Netherlands
In Plant Cell Culture Protocols, 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 generic modification and micropropagation. Many of these protocols
are currently due used in major projects designed to produce improved varieties of
important crop plants. In addition, a number of specialized protocols have been
included to illustrate the diversity of the techniques available and their widespread
applicability.
Plant Cell Culture Protocols is aimed at
scientists involved in all aspects of plant biotechnological research, as well as those
working in other areas of agriculture and horticulture who are interested in expanding
their technical repertoire to include in vitro methodology. Its state-of-the-art
techniques are certain to make the book today's choice, an indispensable tool in the
development of new transgenic plants and full-scale commercial applications.
