Major advances made during the last one decade in the field of plant tissue culture and molecular biology have been presented in this book. It comprises about fifty research articles on a wide range of topical subjects—from overall review of plant tissue culture to superoxide dismutases in plants; somatic bryogenesis in crop species like Cicer arietinum, Helianthus annus, etc., besides plantation crops like coffee and pepper; micropropagation of divergent plant species, including medicinal
and ornamental plants; haploid and somaclonal variation in pigeonpea, peanut, etc.; production of secondary metabolites in plant species like Catharanthus roseus, Artemesia maritima and Azadirachta indica; stress biology in crop plants; use of molecular markers in coffee, PCR-based DNA fingerprinting, seed protein profiles of fodder grains, and nodule initiation in pigeonpea. This book serves not only as a handbook for students, scholars, teachers, researchers and industries alike in plant tissue culture and biotechnology, but also for general reference. 328pp (1999) ISBN 9788173711480
