Micropropagation, Genetic Engineering, and Molecular Biology of 'Populus'

摘要

Thirty-four Populus biotechnology chapters, written by 85 authors, are comprisedin 5 sections: (1) in vitro culture (micropropagation, somatic embryogenesis, protoplasts, somaclonal variation, and germplasm preservation); (2) transformation and foreign gene expression; (3) molecular biology (molecular/genetic characterization); (4) biotic and abiotic resistance (disease, insect, and pollution); and (5) biotechnological applications (wood properties, flowering, phytoremediation, breeding, commercialization, economics, and bioethics).
