Reviews

From the reviews: "The approach of including several examples and description of well-illustrated protocols from available primary literature and the author’s own laboratory experiences and helpful guidelines make this volume a gem for conventional tissue culture practices. … To the best of our experiences, this volume is suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate level courses in life sciences, biotechnology, plant tissue culture, plant biotechnology … or plant science courses. We also recommend this volume for M.Tech., M.Phil., and PhD level courses in the above-mentioned areas and related disciplines." (S. K. Basu and A. Goyal, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, November, 2009)
