Under the vast umbrella of Plant Sciences resides a plethora of
highly specialized fields. Botanists, agronomists, horticulturists,
geneticists, and physiologists each employ a different approach to
the study of plants and each for a different end goal. Yet all will
find themselves in the laboratory engaging in what can broadly be
termed biotechnology. Addressing a wide variety of related topics,
Plant Tissue Culture, Development, and Biotechnology gives the
practical and technical knowledge needed to train the next
generation of plant scientists regardless of their ultimate
specialization. With the detailed perspectives and hands-on
training signature to the authors' previous bestselling books,
Plant Development and Biotechnology and Plant Tissue Culture
Concepts and Laboratory Exercises, this book discusses relevant
concepts supported by demonstrative laboratory experiments. It
provides critical thinking questions, concept boxes highlighting
important ideas, and procedure boxes giving precise instruction for
experiments, including step-by-step procedures, such as the proper
microscope use with digital photography, along with anticipated
results, and a list of materials needed to perform them.
Integrating traditional plant sciences with recent advances in
plant tissue culture, development, and biotechnology, chapters
address germplasm preservation, plant growth regulators, embryo
rescue, micropropagation of roses, haploid cultures, and
transformation of meristems. Going beyond the scope of a simple
laboratory manual, this book also considers special topics such as
copyrights, patents, legalities, trade secrets, and the business of
biotechnology. Focusing on plant culture development and its
applications in biotechnology across a myriad of plant science
specialties, this text uses a broad range of species and practical
laboratory exercises to make it useful for anyone engaged in the
plant sciences.
