Items related to Micropropagation of Orchids
The authors provide a comprehensive worldwide survey of the literature on the methods for multiplying orchid plants using tissue culture techniques. These are the newest techniques derived from current molecular biology research and offer great practical utility for growers of often rare and beautiful orchids. All of the information required to propagate orchids, including detailed how-to protocols for each orchid type and an outline of techniques and procedures, is provided.

Review:
"It contains a great amount of information including the most up to date scientific results. Micropropagation of Orchids, 2nd edition, is a valuable book of reference for people working in the area of orchid cultivation and for all who are enthusiastic with orchids." (Thaiszia Journal of Botany, 2010)
From the Back Cover:
"This title comes as two separate hardcover volumes, attractively housed together within a 5–sided cardboard casing that matches the volume covers. This second edition expands and updates material registered in the first edition, which was published in 1993 by Wiley and Sons and covered orchid micropropagation methods published between 1974 and 1990 within 682 pages. The second edition boasts another 878 pages, accounting for the large increase in methods published across the years 1990 and 2000. Reviewers′ comments indicate that this publication continues to be a primary resource for this discipline." (Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, 2010)
"My minor worries do not stop me wholeheartedly recommending people actively involved in orchid micropropagation and institutional librarians to purchase the second edition of what will, I am sure, be the standard work on the subject for years to come." (Annals of Botany, April 2010)
"The book lives up to its billing as a useful resource strictly dedicated to micropropagation ... .Secure a copy for your personal library before it is out of print once and for all." (American Orchid Society, 2009)
This greatly expanded and updated edition of this classic reference work provides the user with comprehensive details of all procedures for propagating orchids through the culture of tissues in vitro (micropropagation).
Presented in two volumes, the book opens with a detailed and illustrated historical section which covers the discoveries, developments, and people which made micropropagation possible. The next section discusses in detail the principles and components of culture media which are used in micropropagation. The main component of the two volumes, however, is the third section. This comprises the detailed procedures for the culture of over 100 orchid genera. Classical, established, and the very latest techniques of clonal propagation of organs, tissues, and cells are presented. Every one of the listed methods includes tables of complete recipes for a wide range of culture media.
This new edition will continue to be the key reference for all those interested in and involved in orchid micropropagation, growing, and production.
