ISBN10: 1402050046, ISBN13: 9781402050046, [publisher: Springer Verlag] Hardcover First Edition Procedures for plant tissue culture have been developing from ca. 1930 onwards and are now essential in many domains of science and teching. The use of these techniques for plant propagation only began to emerge some 40 years later. The first edition of Plant Propagation by Tissue Culture by Edwin F. George appeared in 1986. A second edition consisting of two volumes appeared in 1993 and 1996. For researchers and students, George?s books have become the standard works on in vitro plant propagation. These volumes also contain a wealth of infomation crucial for researchers and companies working in related areas; particulary plant breeeding, genetic engineering, phytopathology, production of secondary metabolites and conservation. Scientific knowledge has expanded rapidly since the second edition and it would now be a adaunting task for a single author to cover all aspects adequeately. Therefore, in this third edition, topics are being covered by a number of specialisits in the field. However, this edition still maintains the integration that was characteristic of the previous editions. The first volume, wich is in preparation, will cover the practice of micropropagation and describes its various applications. 1380 gr.

ISBN10: 1402050046, ISBN13: 9781402050046, [publisher: Springer Netherlands] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - It is now more than twenty years since the first edition of this work appeared and nearly fifteen since the second. Whilst much of the information in those editions has stood the test of time, inevitably, because of the pace of research, a new edition is clearly timely. This is true, not only because many more species have been the subject of propagation studies, but because the background to the field - with which this volume deals - has changed almost out of all recognition. In particular, our knowledge of plant development, genetics physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology has expanded exponentially - often through work on mutants of Arabidopsis - and opened up many new avenues for the plant propagator to explore. Equally, the commercial significance of plant propagation has increased significantly. As an example, in the second edition there was a single chapter on plant growth regulators - in this there are three, reflecting the fact that not only is there more information on those PGRs we recognised in 1993, but that several new ones are now known. Equally, fifteen years ago we knew little of the molecular basis of plant development e. g. flower and shoot development, in this edition it has merited a whole chapter, much of which relates to discoveries in the last decade. Because of these factors, it was felt that a diff ...
