In the past there were many attempts to change natural foodstuffs
into high-value products. Cheese, bread, wine, and beer were pro
duced, traditionally using microorganisms as biological tools.
Later, people influenced the natural process of evolution by
artificial selection. In the 19th century, observations regarding
the depen dence of growth and reproduction on the nutrient supply
led to the establishment of agricultural chemistry. Simultaneously,
efforts were directed at defining the correlation between special
forms of morphological differentiation and related biochemical
processes. New experimental systems were developed after the
discovery of phytohormones and their possible use as regulators of
growth and differentiation. In these systems, intact plants or only
parts of them are cultivated under axenic conditions. These
methods, called "in vitro techniques," were introduced to modern
plant breeding. In the field of basic research, plant cell cultures
were increasingly developed and the correlations between
biochemical processes and visible cell variations were explored
further. It should be possible to manipulate the basic laws of
regulation and the respective biochemi cal processes should be
regarded as being independent of morpho logical processes of plant
development."
