The need and meets of the rising global population demand to explore alternative technologies for the enhancement of yield production in the limited land resources and without affecting the environmental condition. In this context, plant tissue culture emerges as a sustainable way to meet the requirements of fresh produces, horticultural crops, medicinal or ornamental plants. Nowadays, plant tissue culture is an emerging filed applied in various aspects including sustainable agriculture, plant breeding, horticulture, forestry. There is a very long history to used plant tissue culture technology for the production of virus-free plants, mass propagation, and production of secondary metabolites. However, with the advancement of the latest technology, broadly applied for crop improvement, clonal propagation, Somatic hybridization Embryo rescue, Germplasm conservation, genetic conservation or even for the preservation of endangered species. However, these technologies also play a vital role in breaking seed dormancy over the conventional methods of conservation. Advances in Plant Tissue Culture: Current Developments and Future Trends provides a complete and up-to-date text covering all basic and applied aspects of plant tissue cultures and their latest application implications, which will be beneficial for the students and early-career researchers of plant sciences and plant / agricultural biotechnology.
