    About this ebook

    Plant Protoplasts covers the techniques involved with, and uses of, protoplast technology. The book discusses isolation, fusion, and culture of higher plant protoplasts, lower plant protoplasts, and blue-green algal protoplast. The text also describes the production of haploid protoplasts from developing pollen grains; the use of protoplasts in mutant selection schemes, and the development of protoplast systems for use with monocotyledonous plants. The book will be invaluable to plant technologists, botanists, biochemists, research workers as well as advanced students interested in gaining a background knowledge of the field.
