    Plant Tissue Culture, Fifth Edition offers a practice-driven introduction to one of the most influential experimental platforms in plant science. Combining established methodologies with contemporary advances in biotechnology, it demonstrates how cultured cells, tissues, and organs can be used to explore plant development and morphogenesis, propagate valuable germplasm, generate novel variation, and support crop trait enhancement.Structur... around a series of laboratory exercises, the book enables technical proficiency alongside an in-depth understanding of the biological principles that govern cellular growth, function, and regenerative responses. Readers are guided through the investigative techniques that have shaped the field, from micropropagation and embryo rescue to protoplast technologies and plant transformation, illustrating how in-vitro systems continue to serve as powerful tools for both discovery and application.This fully revised edition also discusses the expanding relationship between culture-based methods and molecular approaches, including genome editing and RNA interference. Building on decades of established principles and placing cutting-edge developments in the broader context of plant research and agricultural innovation, the volume highlights the continuing evolution of a discipline that remains central to unlocking and harnessing plant potential.

    Hormonal Cross-Talk, Plant Defense and Development: Plant Biology, Sustainability and Climate Change focuses specifically on plants and their interaction to auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonates, brassinosteroids, strigolactones, and the potential those interactions offer for improved plant health and production. Plant hormones (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonates, brassinosteroids, salicylic acid, strigolactones etc.) regulate numerous aspects of plant growth and developmental processes. Each hormone initiates a specific molecular pathway, with each pathway integrated in a complex network of synergistic, antagonistic and additive interactions. This is a valuable reference for those seeking to understand and improve plant health using natural processes. The cross-talks of auxins - abscisic acid, auxins - brassinosteroids, brassinosteroids- abscisic acid, ethylene - abscisic acid, brassinosteroids - ethylene, cytokinins - abscisic acid, brassinosteroids - jasmonates, brassinosteroids - salicylic acid, and gibberellins - jasmonates - strigolactones have been shown to regulate a number of biological processes in plant system. The cross-talk provides robustness to the plant immune system but also drives specificity of induced defense responses against the plethora of biotic and abiotic interactions.
