Plant genetic transformation has become an important biotechnological tool for the improvement of many crops. A solid foundation for the fast development and implementation of biotechnology in agriculture has been provided by achievements in plant tissue culture. Plant tissue culture represents the most promising areas of application at present time and giving an out look into the future. The areas range from micropropagation of ornamental and forest trees, production of pharmaceutically interesting compounds, and plant breeding for improved nutritional value of staple crop plants, including trees to cryopreservation of valuable germplasm. |
