Overview

As economic growth and pollution eat away at the earth's dwindling resources increasing attention has been given to the conservation of plant genetic resources. This book illustrates the application of tissue culture to conservation of plant genetic resources using some major crops as prime examples. As tissue culture is now playing an increasing role in international germplasm exchange and the elimination of pathogens, this book will prove useful to those involved with enhancing the use of conserved germplasm and the safe keeping of irreplacable resources, both by providing a review of techniques in common use and by looking at some of the more novel techniques being applied to enhance the existing methodology.
