Handbook of Plant Cell Culture: Perennial Crops

Volume six continues a treatise begun in 1983 (the first four volumes were originally published by Macmillan but are now available from McGraw-Hill), but its path to publication has been different. Chinese scientists have been at the forefront in research on perennial crops for a number of years, and this work, as a translation and adaptation of a book published originally in China (Higher Education Press), represents a collaborative effort with contributions and literature citations primarily from Chinese sources. The 37 articles examine the implications for agriculture and forestry of recent advances which allow for the development of better quality, disease-resistant stock at a lower cost. Acidic paper.
