A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"It contains a great amount of information including the most up to date scientific results. Micropropagation of Orchids, 2nd edition, is a valuable book of reference for people working in the area of orchid cultivation and for all who are enthusiastic with orchids." (Thaiszia Journal of Botany, 2010)

"This title comes as two separate hardcover volumes, attractively housed together within a 5–sided cardboard casing that matches the volume covers. This second edition expands and updates material registered in the first edition, which was published in 1993 by Wiley and Sons and covered orchid micropropagation methods published between 1974 and 1990 within 682 pages. The second edition boasts another 878 pages, accounting for the large increase in methods published across the years 1990 and 2000. Reviewers′ comments indicate that this publication continues to be a primary resource for this discipline." (Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, 2010)

"My minor worries do not stop me wholeheartedly recommending people actively involved in orchid micropropagation and institutional librarians to purchase the second edition of what will, I am sure, be the standard work on the subject for years to come." (Annals of Botany, April 2010)

"The book lives up to its billing as a useful resource strictly dedicated to micropropagation ... .Secure a copy for your personal library before it is out of print once and for all." (American Orchid Society, 2009)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This greatly expanded and updated edition of a classic reference work comprises two volumes offering a compendium of methods for multiplying orchids through micropropagation.

• A detailed collection of procedures and methods for multiplying orchids, including organ, tissue, and cell culture techniques in vitro
  
• Presents classic techniques that have been in the forefront of orchid propagation since they were first developed in 1949
  
• Detailed procedures are appended with tables and complete recipes for a large number of culture media
  
• Includes many illustrations, chemical formulas, historical vignettes, and seldom seen illustrations of people, orchids, apparatus and tools

an excellent resource like its predecessor, both informative and captivating, and served as a reminder of why we go to such extremes in our quest to propagate these plants. American Orchid Society, 2009

in the sense of its universal value and importance, this Second Edition will undoubtedly be considered a classic, if only because it will serve as a sole and invaluable resource on the subject. Plant Science Bulletin, 2009
