A propos de cet article

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.

Synopsis

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, extra specialists have been brought on board to cover the hugely expanded number of topics in the subject area. The volumes, of course, still contain a wealth of information for researchers and companies working in related areas; particularly plant breeding, genetic engineering, phytopathology, production of secondary metabolites and conservation. 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. Therefore, in this third edition, topics are being covered by a number of specialists. 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.
