For researchers and students, George’s books have become the standard works on in vitro plant propagation. For this, the third edition of the classic work, authors with specialist knowledge have been brought on board to cover the hugely expanded number of topics in the subject area. Scientific knowledge has expanded rapidly since the second edition and it would now be a daunting task for a single author to cover all aspects adequately. However, this edition still maintains the integration that was characteristic of the previous editions. The first volume of the new edition highlights the scientific background of in vitro propagation. The second volume covers the practice of micropropagation and describes its various applications.

Do you want to know how to tissue culture plants and grow more in less space? If so this how-to guide is for you. Plant tissue culture can be done at home without expensive lab grade gear. Inside, you will find easy and affordable alternatives to supplies and equipment that would otherwise be unobtainable to most. The return in numbers of plants for your investment is very lucrative and rewarding, not to mention easy.Anyone that can cook dinner can practice micropropagation of plants in a compact space and in incredible numbers. Anyone that has seen the exploding price of houseplants and recreational plants can see what a reward growing thousands of plants yourself can bring.What you need to start a successful lab at home in a compact spaceHow to use your equipment and supplies as easily as possibleWhat each stage does and how to easily perform the tasksHow to get your favorite plants into tissue cultureWhy you should be using plant tissue culture to grow to your potentialHow to grow out your tissue cultured plants for outside or saleAquarium plants, houseplants, garden plants, recreational plants, carnivorous plants, orchids, mosses, and more can quickly and easily be multiplied. Many plants you see at garden centers are propagated by plant tissue culture and you can do it too!Turn one plant into thousands quickly. In the amount of time it takes to grow a cutting to produce new shoots to make more cuttings you can have hundreds of plants in many species. Plant tissue culture allows the multiplication of your prized plants exponentially. It also allows you to use a kitchen corner or a small room as a lab area that will give you positive results.Keep up with the demand and changing tastes of the plant hobby. Propagate plants faster with tissue culture and keep up with your demand for more plants.

Plant Tissue Culture Techniques and Experiments is a manual that contains laboratory exercises about the demonstration of the methods and different plant materials used in plant tissue culture. It provides an overview on the plant cell culture techniques and plant material options in selecting the explant source. This book starts by discussing the proper setup of a tissue culture laboratory and the selection of the culture medium. It then explains the determination of an explant which is the ultimate goal of the cell culture project. The explant is a piece of plant tissue that is used in tissue culture. Furthermore, the book discusses topics about callus induction, regeneration and morphogenesis process, and haploid plants from anther and pollen culture. The meristem culture for virus-free plants and in vitro propagation for commercial propagation of ornamentals are also explained in this manual. The book also provides topics and exercises on the protoplast isolation and fusion and agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plants. This manual is intended for college students, both graduate and undergraduate, who study chemistry, plant anatomy, and plant physiology.

Since the publication of the first edition in 1983, several new and exciting developments have taken place in the field of plant tissue culture, which forms a major component of what is now called plant biotechnology. The revised edition presents updated information on theoretical, practical and applied aspects of plant tissue culture. Each chapter has been thoroughly revised and, as before, is written in lucid language, includes relevant media protocols, and is profusely illustrated with self-explanatory diagrams and original photographs. This book includes three new chapters: "Variant selection", "Genetic Engineering" and "Production of Industrial Compounds" and contains a complete bibliography and a glossary of terms commonly used in tissue culture literature.This updated version proves to be an excellent text for undergraduate, postgraduate students and teachers in various fields of plant sciences and a useful reference book for those interested in the application of any aspect of this aseptic technology.

High-efficiency micropropagation, with relatively low labour costs, has been demonstrated in this unique book detailing liquid media systems for plant tissue culture. World authorities (e.g. von Arnold, Curtis, Takayama, Ziv) contribute seminal papers together with papers from researchers across Europe that are members of the EU COST Action 843 "Advanced micropropagation systems". First-hand practical applications are detailed for crops – including ornamentals and trees – using a wide range of techniques, from thin-film temporary immersion systems to more traditional aerated bioreactors with many types of explant – shoots to somatic embryos. The accounts are realistic, balanced and provide a contemporary account of this important aspect of mass propagation. This book is essential reading for all those in commercial micropropagation labs, as well as researchers worldwide who are keen to improve propagation techniques and lower economic costs of production. Undergraduate and postgraduate students in the applied plant sciences and horticulture will find the book an enlightened treatise.
