Achievements today in plant biotechnology have already surpassed
all previous expectations. Plant biotechnology, integrated with
classical breeding, is now on the verge of creating the evergreen
revolution' to solve the world's envisaged tripled demand for food,
agricultural commodities and natural products. New biotechnologies
are being continuously adapted to agricultural practices, opening
new vistas for plant utilization. Plant biotechnology is changing
the plant scene in three major areas: (1) growth and development
control (vegetative, generative and propagation), (2) protecting
plants against the ever-increasing threats of abiotic and biotic
stress, (3) expanding the horizons by producing specialty foods,
biochemicals and pharmaceuticals. The potential for improving plant
and animal productivity and their proper use in agriculture relies
largely on newly-developed DNA biotechnology and molecular markers.
These techniques enable the selection of successful genotypes,
better isolation and cloning of favorable traits, and the creating
of transgenic organisms of importance to agriculture. These areas
were extensively discussed at the 9th international congress of the
International Association of Plant Tissue Culture and
Biotechnology, Plant Biotechnology and In Vitro Biology in the 21st
Century', which was held in Jerusalem in June 1998. The present
book of proceedings contains the variety of scientific achievements
and techniques that were presented: Basic and Applied Aspects of
Growth, Development and Differentiation; Genetic Manipulations:
Transformation and Gene Expression, Hybridization, Haploidization
and Mutagenesis; Genetic Stability and Instability, Selection and
Variability; Regulation of Primary and Secondary Metabolism; Model
Systems: Cell Cycle, Transport and Signal Transduction;
Biotechnology for Plant Protection: Abiotic and Biotic Stress;
Biotechnology for Crop Improvement: Yield, Quality and Production
of Valuable Substances; Novel Micropropagation Methods; New Markets
and Commercial Applications; Intellectual Property Rights.
