Thirty years ago, in vitro propagation was a new technique for producing plants, and Lydiane Kyte’s Plants from Test Tubes became the standard work on the topic. The new fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the many advances in science and technology, including the five accepted sequential stages of micropropagation. Ten new plants have been added. This in turn has greatly expanded the already extensive bibliography. Among the new topics that have been introduced or expanded on are embryo culture for breeding, somaclonal variation, anther culture, somatic embryogenesis, cryopreservation, and genetic engineering. More ornamental plant examples are given and many new illustrations provided, including a chronology of discoveries in micropropagation.

In Vitro Culture of Higher Plants presents an up-to-date and wide- ranging account of the techniques and applications, and has primarily been written in response to practical problems. Special attention has been paid to the educational aspects. Typical methodological aspects are given in the first part: laboratory set-up, composition and preparation of media, sterilization of media and plant material, isolation and (sub)culture, mechanization, the influence of plant and environmental factors on growth and development, the transfer from test-tube to soil, aids to study. The question of why in vitro culture is practised is covered in the second part: embryo culture, germination of orchid seeds, mericloning of orchids, production of disease-free plants, vegetative propagation, somaclonal variation, test-tube fertilization, haploids, genetic manipulation, other applications in phytopathology and plant breeding, secondary metabolites.

Plant Tissue Culture Techniques and Experiments is a manual that contains laboratory exercises about the demonstration of the methods and different plant materials used in plant tissue culture. It provides an overview on the plant cell culture techniques and plant material options in selecting the explant source. This book starts by discussing the proper setup of a tissue culture laboratory and the selection of the culture medium. It then explains the determination of an explant which is the ultimate goal of the cell culture project. The explant is a piece of plant tissue that is used in tissue culture. Furthermore, the book discusses topics about callus induction, regeneration and morphogenesis process, and haploid plants from anther and pollen culture. The meristem culture for virus-free plants and in vitro propagation for commercial propagation of ornamentals are also explained in this manual. The book also provides topics and exercises on the protoplast isolation and fusion and agrobacterium-mediated transformation of plants. This manual is intended for college students, both graduate and undergraduate, who study chemistry, plant anatomy, and plant physiology.

Do you want to know how to tissue culture plants and grow more in less space? If so this how-to guide is for you. Plant tissue culture can be done at home without expensive lab grade gear. Inside, you will find easy and affordable alternatives to supplies and equipment that would otherwise be unobtainable to most. The return in numbers of plants for your investment is very lucrative and rewarding, not to mention easy.Anyone that can cook dinner can practice micropropagation of plants in a compact space and in incredible numbers. Anyone that has seen the exploding price of houseplants and recreational plants can see what a reward growing thousands of plants yourself can bring.What you need to start a successful lab at home in a compact spaceHow to use your equipment and supplies as easily as possibleWhat each stage does and how to easily perform the tasksHow to get your favorite plants into tissue cultureWhy you should be using plant tissue culture to grow to your potentialHow to grow out your tissue cultured plants for outside or saleAquarium plants, houseplants, garden plants, recreational plants, carnivorous plants, orchids, mosses, and more can quickly and easily be multiplied. Many plants you see at garden centers are propagated by plant tissue culture and you can do it too!Turn one plant into thousands quickly. In the amount of time it takes to grow a cutting to produce new shoots to make more cuttings you can have hundreds of plants in many species. Plant tissue culture allows the multiplication of your prized plants exponentially. It also allows you to use a kitchen corner or a small room as a lab area that will give you positive results.Keep up with the demand and changing tastes of the plant hobby. Propagate plants faster with tissue culture and keep up with your demand for more plants.
