In continuation of Volumes 8 and 9 (1989) on in vitro
manipulation of plant protoplasts, this new volume deals
with the regeneration of plants from protoplasts and genetic
transformation in various species of Agrostis, Arabidopsis,
Atropa, Brassica, Catharanthus, Datura, Cucumis, Daucus,
Digitalis, Duboisia, Eustoma, Festuca, Helianthus, Hordeum,
Kalanchoe, Linum, Lobelia, Lolium, Lotus, Lycium,
Lycopersicum,Mentha, Nicotiana, Pelargonium, Pisum, Pyrus,
Salvia, Scopolia, and Solanum.These studies reflect the far
reaching implications of protoplast technologyin genetic
engineering of plants. They are of special interest to
researchers in the field of plant tissue culture, molecular
biology, genetic engineering, and plant breeding.
