"This book delivers the essential foundation of plant tissue culture, introducing the three types of commonly used culture regeneration systems. It also integrates propagation techniques with other methodologies for the modification and manipulation of germplasm. The book concludes with special sections on in vitro plant pathology, recent research into genetic and phenotypic variation, the mechanics of commercial plant production, the importance of clean cultures, and problems associated with maintaining in vitro cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
