Academic Press Advances in Plant Tissue Culture: Current Developments and Future Trends

Advances in Plant Tissue Culture: Current Developments and Future Trends provides a complete and up-to-date text on all basic and applied aspects of plant tissue cultures and their latest application implications. It will be beneficial for students and early-career researchers of plant sciences and plant/agricultural biotechnology. Plant tissue culture has emerged as a sustainable way to meet the requirements of fresh produces, horticultural crops, medicinal or ornamental plants. Nowadays, plant tissue culture is an emerging filed applied in various aspects, including sustainable agriculture, plant breeding, horticulture and forestry. This book covers the latest technology, broadly applied for crop improvement, clonal propagation, Somatic hybridization Embryo rescue, Germplasm conservation, genetic conservation, or for the preservation of endangered species. However, these technologies also play a vital role in breaking seed dormancy over conventional methods of conservation. Review Provides a complete and up-to-date text covering all basic and applied aspects of plant tissue cultures and their latest application implications From the Back Cover The need and meets of the rising global population demand to explore alternative technologies for the enhancement of yield production in the limited land resources and without affecting the environmental condition. In this context, plant tissue culture emerges as a sustainable way to meet the requirements of fresh produces, horticultural crops, medicinal or ornamental plants. Nowadays, plant tissue culture is an emerging filed applied in various aspects including sustainable agriculture, plant breeding, horticulture, forestry. There is a very long history to used plant tissue culture technology for the production of virus-free plants, mass propagation, and production of secondary metabolites. However, with the advancement of the latest technology, broadly applied for crop improvement, clonal propagation, Somatic hybridization Embryo rescue, Germplasm conservation, genetic conservation or even for the preservation of endangered species. However, these technologies also play a vital role in breaking seed dormancy over the conventional methods of conservation.<br><br><i>Advances in Plant Tissue Culture: Current Developments and Future Trends</i> provides a complete and up-to-date text covering all basic and applied aspects of plant tissue cultures and their latest application implications, which will be beneficial for the students and early-career researchers of plant sciences and plant / agricultural biotechnology. About the Author Dr. Avinash Chandra Rai is currently working as a visiting scientist at Agriculture Research Organization, The Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, Israel. Dr. Rai has been completed his Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology from Banaras Hindu University, Uttar Pradesh, India. He is currently serving as a visiting Scientist in Institute of Plant Sciences, Agricultural Research Organization-The Volcani Centre, Israel. He has more than thirteen years of research experience, particularly in the area of plant molecular biology and plant physiology. His research interest is in deciphering the insights of plant abiotic stresses with the applications of molecular and physiological tools. He also has a keen interest in emerging environmental and physiological issues of crop plants. He is currently working to see the effect of auxin and ethylene in the process of abscission in mango and find out the role of essential gene involved in the pathways mechanism in abscission of fruit. Dr. Rai has more than seventeen research articles and book chapters in journals of national and international repute to his credit. He is a lifetime member of the Biotech Research Society of India (BRSI) and Society of vegetable Sciences, India. He is also the recipient of Young Scientist Associate award from Bioved Research Society, Allahabad, India
