In continuation of Volumes 8, 9, and 22 on in vitro
manipulation of plant protplasts, this new volume deals with
the regeneration of plants from protoplasts and genetic
transformation in various species of Actinidia, Amoracia,
Beta, Brassica, Cicer, Citrus, Cucumis, Duboisia, Fragaria,
Glycine, Ipomoea, Lactuca, Lotus, Lycopersicon, Manihot,
Medicago, Nicotiana, Petunia, Phaseolus, Pisum, Prunus,
Psophocarpus, Saccharum, Solanum, Sorghum, Stylosanthes, and
Vitis. These studies reflect the far-reaching implications
of protoplast technology in 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.
