Tissue Culture: Towards the next century (out of print)
Plant Tissue Culture Practice
The purpose of this introductory textbook in plant tissue culture is to provide a practical reference for the production of higher plants via in vitro techniques. The book is aimed at researchers, students, nursery people and other individuals who are interested in plant cell and tissue culture, particularly in clonal propagation.
The appendices provide technical information and solutions to many of the problems one may encounter during the course of tissue culture. Many recipes, arising from our own work with Australian Native Plants, are also included in this book.
We hope that this improved third edition will be of further assistance to researchers and students alike.

Tissue Culture of Australian Plants
The development of plant tissue culture in Australia has accelerated enormously over the past two decades. Today more than 150 scientists are using this technology for development of Australian plants and in advancing our basic understanding of many Australian plant species. This is the first book which has concentrated on the tissue culture advances with respect to Australian native plants. The book is aimed at researchers, students and anyone with an interest in plant tissue culture technology.The Editors:
Acram Taji is Professor of Horticultural Science in the Department of Agronomy and Soil Science at the University of New England in Armidale and Richard Williams is Professor of Horticultural Science in the Department of Plant Production at the University of Queensland, Gatton Campus.
