Biotechnology of Ornamental Plants (Biotechnology in Agriculture Series)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Ornamental plants include herbaceous plants produced as bedding plants, greenhouse pot plants, and cut flowers, as well as bulbs, trees, shrubs, and vines. Ornamental plant production is of major and increasing importance worldwide.
Basic scientific research in recent years has provided a better understanding of plant regeneration, genetics, growth, and development. This has led to the development of technologies which can significantly improve ornamental species.
This book reviews recent advances in the biotechnology of ornamentals. For example, genes have recently been identified for flower characteristics and pest resistance, and these have engineered into ornamental species. The book is divided into five main parts and written by authors from the USA,
Canada, Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand. It is aimed at workers in horticulture and plant biotechnology.
