The rapid progress on somatic embryogenesis and its prospects for
potential application to improving woody plants prompted us to edit
this book initially in three volumes, and now an additional three
more volumes. We were all convinced that such a treatise was needed
and would be extremely useful to researchers and students. This
volume 6 is dedicated to Prof. Harry Waris, Helsinki, Finland, who
did pioneer work on somatic embryogenesis during the time when
Prof. Steward and others were actively engaged in this area. His
former student Prof. Liisa Simols, University of Helsinki, Finland,
has written a dedication Harry Waris, a pioneer in somatic
embryogenesis' to her teacher Prof. Waris. This volume is divided
into three sections and contains a total of 26 chapters. Section A
comprises seven chapters covering topics such as: Historical
insights into some contemporary problems in somatic embryogenesis
(SE); Thin cell layer for somatic embryogenesis induction in woody
trees; SE in tropical fruit and forest trees; SE in fruit and
forest arid trees; Status of SE in Indian forest trees; SE research
in fruit trees in India; Applications of SE for the improvement of
tropical fruit trees. Section B comprises 15 chapters, dealing
with: SE in oil palm, hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.), pistachio
(Pistacia vera L.), Araucaria angustifolia, Quercus suber,
Aspidosperma polyneuron, Acacia senegal, Simmondsia chiensis,
Cupressus sempervirens, pecan (Carya illinoinensis), rattan
(Calamus spp.), tamarillo (Cyphomandra betacea, longan (Dimocarpus
longan Lor.), Aegle marmelos, and Euonymus europaeus. Section C
comprises three chapters related to cryo-storage of citrus,
conifers and rubber. All the chaptershave been peer-reviewed and
revised accordingly to improve the quality of the chapters. We are
thankful to all: (a) contributory authors for their co-operation in
submitting manuscripts in time, and (b) reviewers for spending
their valuable time in reviewing the manuscripts.
