It is our pleasure to present the 53rd volume of the Biotechnology
in Agric- ture and Forestry (BAF) series. This is the second issue
of the BAF series edited by the new editorial team consisting of
Professors Horst Lorz, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany,
Jack Widholm, University of Illinois, Urbana, USA,and Toshiyuki
Nagata,University of Tokyo,Tokyo,Japan. This series was originally
founded by the late Professor Y. P. S. Bajaj,Delhi,India,in 1986.
The current volume is somewhat unique, since in this volume only
one plant cell line,the tobacco BY-2 cell line,is handled,while
previous volumes mainly dealt with plants having certain economical
importance. Nonetheless, the three editors of this
volume,Professors Dirk Inze,Seiichiro Hasezawa and Toshiyuki
Nagata,believe that most scientists who are working in the ?eld of
plant s- ences will enjoy seeing this volume as a kind of source
book of the unique tobacco BY-2 cells. Indeed,tobacco BY-2 cells
have,over the years,gained the status as a model plant
system,comparable to HeLa cells for human research. The current
book is very timely because a wealth of basic knowledge on plant
cells related to,e. g. ,cell
division,cytoskeleton,cytokinesis,plant hormone s- naling,etc. ,has
been gathered from experiments with this cell line. As re?ected in
the contents,the accumulated knowledge of the BY-2 cell line is
enormous and there is no other cell line that has been so important
for progress in the plant sciences. Such knowledge should be shared
with scientists from the ?elds of both applied and basic plant
science.
