Micropropagation, Genetic Engineering, and Molecular Biology of Populus

Species of the genus Populus (poplars & aspens) are relatively short-lived, fast-growing trees that can grow on marginal soils & are widely adaptable. Populus systems are rapidly being developed for application in fiber, fuel, & environmental plantings & contributions of in vitro & molecular biological studies are apparent in virtually every area of forest biology & ecology. This book presents diverse, yet related, information from the rapidly developing studies on Populus molecular biology & in vitro culture. Chapters: in vitro culture; transformation & foreign gene expression; molecular biology, biotic & abiotic resistance, & biotechnological applications. Glossary.Klopfenstein, Ned B. is the author of 'Micropropagation, Genetic Engineering, and Molecular Biology of Populus', published 2000 under ISBN 9780788189333 and ISBN 0788189336.
