Description: Plant morphogenesis is a dynamic and fascinating field of investigation. Since 1958 plant tissue culture has provided a powerful approach to manipulating morphogenesis under highly controlled conditions and to understanding the role of various extrinsic factors and correlative effects of various tissues in morphogenesis. These studies are not only of academic interest but also of considerable practical importance as they enhance our power to manipulate in vitro growth and development, which has a direct bearing on the application of plant tissue culture to plant improvement, propagation and conservation. Most of the plant tissue culture books published during the last three decades deal mainly with the basic techniques of aseptic manipulation of plant cells, tissues and organs and their practical applications, with very little or no emphasis on morphogenesis. The substantial advances made in the field of morphogenesis in tissue cultures during the last 25 years is the driving force behind the publication of this volume. It includes 16 chapters written by eminent scientists of international repute and with considerable experience in their field. The book is divided into two sections. The first section includes 11 chapters on the basic aspects, and the second section embodies 5 chapters on the applied aspects of morphogenesis. The students, teachers and scientists of plant sciences will find this book extremely useful.
