Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternating between topic discussions and hands-on laboratory experiments that range from the in vitro flowering of roses to tissue culture of ferns, Plant Tissue Culture Concepts and Laboratory Exercises, Second Edition, addresses the most current principles and methods in plant tissue culture research. The editors use the expertise of some of the top researchers and educators in plant biotechnology to furnish students, instructors and researchers with a broad consideration of the field. Divided into eight major parts, the text covers everything from the history of plant tissue culture and basic methods to propagation techniques, crop improvement procedures, specialized applications and nutrition of callus cultures. New topic discussions and laboratory exercises in the Second Edition include ""Micropropagation of Dieffenbachia,"" ""Micropropagation and in vitro flowering of rose,"" ""Propagation from nonmeristematic tissue-organogenesis,"" ""Variation in culture"" and ""Tissue culture of ferns.""It is the book's extensive laboratory exercises that provide a hands-on approach in illustrating various topics of discussion, featuring step-by-step procedures, anticipated results, and a list of materials needed. What's more, editors Trigiano and Gray go beyond mere basic principles of plant tissue culture by including chapters on genetic transformation techniques, and photographic methods and statistical analysis of data. In all, Plant Tissue Culture Concepts and Laboratory Exercises, Second Edition, is a veritable harvest of information for the continued study and research in plant tissue culture science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.

Download or read book Plant Chimeras written by Richard A. E. Tilney-Bassett and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-10-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which was originally published in 1986, introduces the reader to the main steps in the analysis of chimeras, explains their structural and developmental basis, and the ways of classifying and manipulating them. The twelve chapters separate types of chimeras according to their origin - by grafting or polyploidy; their structure - sectorial or periclinal; or according to the varied parts of the plant most affected - tubers, leaves, flowers or fruit. Throughout the book care is taken to distinguish between the activity of the growing-point in determining chimera structure, and the role of gene expression in determining appearance. Examples of the experimental uses of chimeras are given and of the valuable role they can play in studying fundamental questions of anatomical development; the disadvantages of chimeras in mutation breeding are discussed too.

Download or read book Plant Tissue Culture written by Sant Saran Bhojwani and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1986 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tremendous accumulation of information on plant tissue culture is making it extremely difficult for anyone to keep fully abreast with the literature even in his own specialised area. Therefore, the authors have compiled a bibliography of plant tissue culture as a ready reference for those who are already working in this field, and have also made the task easier for those who have become interested in plant tissue culture. The idea of preparing the bibliography was conceived after completing the book Plant Tissue Culture: Theory and Practice (Elsevier, 1982). Recognition of the various potential industrial applications of plant biotechnology has considerably enhanced the importance of plant tissue culture (PTC), as the latter holds a pivotal position in the realisation of the final goal of crop improvement via cell manipulation and multiplication. It is also becoming increasingly popular in basic studies in plant sciences. Consequently there has been an explosion in the literature on PTC since 1970. A distinctive feature of the present compilation is that it covers all aspects of PTC of higher plants, including Gymnosperms.

Download or read book Applied Mutation Breeding for Vegetatively Propagated Crops written by C. Broertjes and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first edition of this book appeared in 1978, it was warmly received. Most readers and reviewers especially valued the extensive coverage of the literature in the chapters dealing with the different crops. ``... a valuable and timely addition to plant breeders and of outstanding value to breeders of ornamental plants. The book's special strength resides in the extensive review of literature ...'' (International Journal for Breeding Research). This is also reflected by the many times that the work has been referred to in other publications.This new edition provides plant breeders as well as scientists with an up-to-date overview of methods and results of the application of mutation breeding in order to genetically improve vegetatively propagated crops. General principles and background information about mutation breeding in general, methods of treatment, material to be treated and results are discussed in the introductory chapters, followed by a description of the specific situation in each of the vegetatively propagated crops ever used in a mutation breeding project.This volume brings together all the important and relevant literature in the field. It provides a complete account of mutation breeding of vegetatively produced crops, presenting conclusions about the value of the method, its possibilities, limitations and shortcomings and the possible difficulties of further application in various crops. The initial chapters deal with the interactions between mutagenic treatment and plant material, such as aspects of mutagenic treatment, post-irradiation behaviour of shoot apices and adventitious bud techniques. All available literature is then discussed crop by crop and critically evaluated. Almost 1700 references are covered and whenever possible suggestions for more efficient application of mutation breeding methods are given.
