"Micro propagation is a fast and suitable method for producing large number of similar plants of germplasm with in a short period.

The book contains measurement of plant cell growth, plant tissue culture, initiation of embryo genesis in suspension culture, micro propagation in plants, genetic transformation of plants, isolation of plant DNA and many more.

This is very helpful book for entrepreneurs, consultants, students, institutions, researchers etc."
