Ebook "Plant cell culture protocols (Third edition)" is taught around the world as part of undergraduate and graduate courses in agronomical and biological sciences. However, the apparent simplicity of cell culture technology should not lead to mistakingly consider it as trivial. It would be very diffi cult to understand modern plant biotechnology without in vitro cell cultures and even today, the application of recombinant DNA technology to important crops is hampered by the poor embryogenic or morphogenetic response of in vitro cultured tissues.
