Over recent years, progress in micropropagation has not been as
rapid as many expected and, even now, relatively few crops are
produced commercially. One reason for this is that the biology of
material growing in vitro has been insufficiently understood for
modifications to standard methods to be made based on sound
physiological principles. However, during the past decade, tissue
culture companies and others have invested considerable effort to
reduce the empirical nature of the production process. The idea of
the conference `Physiology, Growth and Development of Plants and
Cells in Culture' (Lancaster, 1992) was to introduce specialists in
different areas of plant physiology to micropropagators, with the
express aims of disseminating as wide a range of information to as
large a number of participants as possible, and beginning new
discussions on the constraints and potentials affecting the
development of in vitro plant production methods. This book is
based on presentations from the conference and has been divided
into two main sections, dealing with either aspects of the in vitro
environment -- light, nutrients, water, gas -- or with applied
aspects of the culture process -- morphogenesis, acclimation,
rejuvenation, contamination.
