Divided into three volumes, Micropropagation of Orchids Third Edition retains the exhaustive list of micropropagation protocols for many genera and updates each section to include new and/or revised information about:

• Culture media and vessels
• Techniques and procedures for both orchids which were previously cultured and for those which were not
• Plant hormones and growth regulators
• Media components
• Methods for tissue decontamination
• Historical information
• Procedures for the cultivation for plantlets which have been removed from flasks
• Sources of light and illumination methods

Written by two globally acknowledged experts in the field, the third edition of this definitive text on the micropropagation of orchids is a detailed and comprehensive collection of procedures and methods for multiplying orchids, including organ, tissue, and cell culture techniques in vitro and is intended for researchers in plant science and propagation, professional and amateur orchid growers, and plant breeding professionals. Much of the general information about techniques and procedures can be applied to plants other than orchids.
