Second in the series, High-Tech and Micropropagation, this work
covers the micropropagation of trees and fruit-bearing plants, such as
poplar, birches, larch, American sweetgum, black locust, Sorbus,
sandalwood, Quercus, cedar, Persian walnut, date palm, cocoa,
Citrus, olive, apple, pear, peach, plum, cherry, papaya, pineapple,
kiwi, Japanese persimmon, grapevine, strawberry, and raspberry. The
importance and distribution of conventional propagation and in vitro
studies on individual species are discussed. In particular detail, the
transfer of in vitro plants to the greenhouse or the field, and the
prospects of commercial exploitation are examined. The book will be of
use to advanced students, research workers and teachers in horticulture,
forestry and plant biotechnology in general, and also to individuals
interested in industrial micropropagation.
