Micropropagation of Orchids

Beschreibung

Divided into three volumes, Micropropagation of Orchids Third Edition retains the exhaustive list of micropropagation protocols for many genera and updates each section to include new and/or revised information about: * Culture media and vessels * Techniques and procedures for both orchids which were previously cultured and for those which were not * Plant hormones and growth regulators * Media components * Methods for tissue decontamination * Historical information * Procedures for the cultivation of plantlets which have been removed from flasks * Sources of light and illumination methods Written by two globally acknowledged experts in the field, the third edition of this definitive text on the micropropagation of orchids is a detailed and comprehensive collection of procedures and methods for multiplying orchids, including organ, tissue, and cell culture techniques in vitro and is intended for researchers in plant science and propagation, professional and amateur orchid growers, and plant breeding professionals. Much of the general information about techniques and procedures can be applied to plants other than orchids. PRAISE FOR THE SECOND EDITION "This second edition boasts another 878 pages, accounting for the large increase in methods published across the years 1990 and 2000. Reviewers' comments indicate that this continues to be a primary resource for this discipline." (Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, 2010) "It contains a great amount of information including the most up to date scientific results. Micropropagation of Orchids, 2nd edition, is a valuable book of reference for people working in the area of orchid cultivation and for all who are enthusiastic with orchids." (Thaiszia Journal of Botany, 2010) "The book lives up to its billing as a useful resource strictly dedicated to micropropagation... Secure a copy for your personal library before it is out of print once and for all. (American Orchid Society, 2009) "...it is immensely useful to people who need to navigate their way through all the information relating to propagation of orchids through tissue culture, and it represents an amazing amount of work." (Annals of Botany, 2010)
