This text deals with the regeneration of plants from protoplasts and genetic transformation in various species of plants, reflecting the far-raching implications of protoplast technology in the genetic engineering of…

Isolated protoplasts are a unique tool for genetic manipulation of plants. The enthusiasm shown by plant scientists at these meetings was ample proof of the bright future of protoplast technology…

Legumes and oilseed crops are a rich source of protein and energy. The major objectives in grain-legume breeding are to increase grain yield, protein quantity and quality and digestibility, and…

After the 1986 und 1989 volumes, this is the third volume on biotechnological approaches for propagation of economically important ornamental, fruit, and forest trees. International experts contributed 28 chapters on…

This concept of built-in quality implies a continuous scientific endeavour to improve plant char acters using a wide range of possibilities, and it also implies a scrutiny of the materials…

It includes chapters on setting up a commercial laboratory, meristem culture, somatic embryogenesis, factors affecting micropropagation, disposable vessels, vitrification, acclimatization, induction of rooting, artificial substrates, cryopreservation and artificial seed.

This text presents chapters on the biotechnology of trees and deals with the importance, distribution, conventional propagation, micropropagation, review of tissue culture studies, in vitro culture, and genetic manipulation of…

While working in the laboratory of Professor Dr. Jacob Reinert at the Freie Universitat Berlin (1974-1976), I had the opportunity to become deeply involved in studying the intricacies of the…
