Decades of research in plant tissue culture has passed through many
challenges, created new dreams and resulted in landmark
achievements. This has been possible not only due to the
refinements of cultural practices and application of cutting-edge
areas of molecular biology but also to the judicious inclusion of
engineering principles and methods to the system. It has been the
aim of the editors to offer a comprehensive survey of the
engineering principles and methods applied in plant tissue culture,
which has laid the foundation to many successes and opened up new
vistas in this field.
This volume, Plant Tissue Culture Engineering, signals a turning
point: the recognition that this specialized field of plant science
must be integrated with engineering principles in order to develop
efficient, cost effective and large scale applications of these
technologies. A diverse team of key researchers, technologists and
engineers have joined to describe in a lucid manner how various
engineering disciplines can contribute to the improvement of plant
tissue culture techniques and transform it to a technology. The
volume contains 5 parts:
- Machine vision systems for non-invasive and objective
evaluation of cultures
- Innovative bioreactor technologies and its engineering
bases
- Mechanized and/or automated culture processes
- Engineering cultural environment
- Physical aspects of plant tissue culture engineering
Readers of this volume will find a unique collection of chapters
that will focus their attention on the interface of plant
biotechnologies and engineering technologies.
This volume will be of use to graduate students, teachers
andresearch workers in the fields of horticulture, agricultural
botany and plant biotechnology in general and also to individuals
who with or without engineering background are interested in
industrial plant tissue culture.
