This book combines the author's vase research experience using plant tissue culture with his extensive knowledge of the needs of students for a subject that increasingly pervades most aspects of the plant scinces. The book analyses the historical development of a subject with its beginnings in the Eighteenth Century, in studies of callus formation associated with wound healing in trees, to its use in cell and molecular biological studies of plant genetic manipulations. The book enables students to undertake experiments themselevs with the minimum of additional guidance, and, being particularly well referenced, allows the reader to follow up,in greater detail points of interest, either theoretical or practical.
