Biotechnological Applications of Plant Cell and Tissue Culture

Description

A rapidly emerging technology, plant cell tissue culture, has the potential to revolutionize forestry and agricultural practices. Cell cultures have significantly advanced in the last 20 years in areas like forestry, somatic cell genetics, phytopathology, plant breeding, agriculture, and horticulture. In addition to having many practical applications in industry, plant tissue culture is frequently employed in plant research. Tissue culture is used for micropropagation, removing pathogens from plant materials, storing germplasm, producing somaclonal variations, rescuing embryos, producing haploids, producing fake seeds, producing secondary metabolites, and producing transgenic plants, among other things. The exciting field of plant cell and tissue culture as a tool in biotechnology is introduced broadly in this book, along with a chosen assessment of significant developments. The historical advancements in this field, metabolic issues, nutrition, growth regulators, differentiation, and the creation of culture systems are also covered in several of the book's chapters. In addition, the methodologies, culture preservation practices, and stability processes are covered in the current book. Even "old hands" in tissue culture should find some thought-provoking concepts in the book, which will be helpful to both novices and specialists. This book is a priceless tool for researchers, students, technologists, businesspeople, institutional libraries, etc.
