N1  - Tissue culture is the ever ready tool for specialists who hybridize plants by either sexual or asexual means. It is a clean and rapid way for genetic engineers to grow material for identifying and manipulating genes or to transfer individual characteristics from one plant to another. It plays a role in a wide array of fields, such as botany, chemistry, physics, genetic engineering, molecular biology, hybrid developments, pesticide testing, and food science. This book is being brought out to fill the gap in the available literature on plant tissue culture, especially focusing on practical procedures and protocols of tissue culture.
