Description
Book Synopsis
This book presents a detailed analysis of up-to-date literature on in vitro morphogenesis at cell, tissue, organ, and whole plant levels. Its driving force is the substantial advances made in the field of morphogenesis in tissue cultures during the last 25 years.
Trade Review
`However, I also consider that this book should be read and consulted widely by researchers, teachers and students involved in the biological sciences and agriculture.
