Recent findings call for the critical overview of some incorrectly used plant cell and tissue
culture terminology such as dedifferentiation, callus, totipotency, and somatic …

In vitro Embryogenesis in Plants is the first book devoted exclusively to this topic. As the
ultimate demonstration of totipotency in plants, somatic and haploid embryogenesis is of …

Somatic plant cells are not terminally differentiated and can therefore regain totipotency and
initiate embryo development under appropriate conditions. Although this phenomenon is …

Somatic embryogenesis is the developmental process by which somatic cells undergo
restructuring to generate embryogenic cells. These cells then go through a series of …

Plant cell dedifferentiation has long attracted interest as a key process for understanding the
plasticity of plant development. In early studies, typical examples of plant cell …

The extinction of plant species is progressively taking place due to their being trapped in the
vicious circle of ever-increasing industrialization, deforestation, global warming, climate …

All normal living cells within the plant body possess the potential capacity to regenerate the
entire organism, ie to express their totipotency. This potentiality has been exploited through …

Somatic embryogenesis, the initiation of embryos from previously differentiated somatic
cells, is a unique process in plants. This volume expands our view of a subject that is …

The ability to regenerate horticultural crops species efficiently from cell and tissue cultures is
critical for the applications of many biotechnology procedures. For the most part, generation …

Now available only in paperback, this book has been described as``... by far the most
comprehensive book on plant tissue culture... few publications in this field can compare with …
