PUBLICATIONS

This book, published in 1998, summarises experience gained over decades of work with tissue culture of established and novel systems. It is a practical guide with sufficient details of techniques to apply them as well as covering the theoretical background to procedures. It is intended for students or researchers taking up plant tissue culture for the first time.
