plants from test tubes

The presentation of the book is very nice.It's written in a way that most person with some limited sciences background will understand with no trouble at all.Book is very well designed, by chapters from early discoveries to the most advance techniques, and still easy to completly understand and follow procedures without any problems. Language is very simple and clear, and is not boring at all.Author has a good way of describing and teaching the subject, and have a way of keeping interested in reading and doing the practical side of the experiments. Will highly recomend.I;m very happy in owning this book.

ONE OF THE BEST & EASY TO FOLLOW

I loved this book it made me want to go out and get a lab set up right then and there. answered all my questions concerning plant cloning.

Step one starts here

This book will introduce you to not only the history but the nuts and bolts, logistics and mechanics of Micropropagation. I personally found it an invaluable resource to get me started. I can now confidently buy other books that hold specific data and experiments that I wish to pursue with the background knowledge and techniques I learnt here.

just what the title says

Well laid out, easy to understand for a non-technical person like myself.You do not need a doctorate to use this book successfully.A good basic book for micropropagation.

Perfect for the novice.

For those just starting out, this is as good as it gets. Good for the beginner, but contains information useful to the more experienced. If you get hooked on this hobby, it shows how to set up your own lab without breaking the bank. The bibliography and list of supply sources will let you go as far as you want.
