Description
Taylor & Francis Ltd In Vitro Application In Crop Improvement 2004 Edition by A Mujib, Myeong Je Cho, Stafano Predieri
Covers research achievements in the fields of developmental biology, physiology, and pathology. Chapters discuss sericulture techniques, cocoons, dormancy and hormones, clones, the apple biting silkworm, the sable mutation, separation of male and female eggs, and genetic engineering. An appendix explains the technical terminology. Numerous illustrations are included. Production of barley doubled haploids by anther and microspore culture: L.
