Summary

"In the last 50 years, the rapid progress in plant breeding, biotechnology and genetically modified crops has been built on pioneering studies in plant growth, development, and morphogenesis. This volume contains a series of reviews written by the scientists who are integral to this discipline, and have made major discoveries toward the understanding of plant regeneration."--BOOK JACKET.
