Plant Tissue Culture

This book is a comprehensive text on plant tissue culture, with its past, present, and future prospects and techniques discussed in detail.

In the first three chapters, the history, terminologies, and applications are given in detail. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the instrumentation of plant tissue culture. The basic techniques used in PTC are described in the sixth chapter. The details of the constituents and types of different nutrient media are discussed in the eighth chapter. In chapter number 9, methods of haploid production have been described. Bioreactors are the instruments that are used for the large-scale production of plantlets and plant products.

This book is useful for all the students, researchers, teachers, and industrialists interested in plant tissue culture.
