Ten new plants have been added. This in turn has greatly expanded the already extensive bibliography. Among the new topics that have been introduced or expanded on are embryo culture for breeding, somaclonal variation, anther culture, somatic embryogenesis, cryopreservation, and genetic engineering. More ornamental plant examples are given and many new illustrations provided, including a chronology of discoveries in micropropagation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLydiane (Ann) Kyte holds a B.S. degree in botany from the University of Washington.
