Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry General Principles and Biotechnology

Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry General Principles and Biotechnology / edited by J.M. Bonga, D.J. Durzan.

Since the first edition of our book "Tissue Culture in Fores­ try" in 1982 we have witnessed remarkable advances in cell and tissue culture technologies with woody perennials. In addition to forest biologists in government, industry, and universities, we now have molecular biologists, gene...
