Preface
Plant biotechnology is a most interesting field for academicians, researchers, and students, and nowadays it becomes a very useful tool in agriculture and medicine and regarded as a popular area of research especially in biological sciences because of its integral use in biochemistry, molecular biology, and engineering sciences in order to achieve technological application of cultured tissues, cells, and microbes. Plant tissue culture (PTC), a technique refers to cultivation of plant cells and other parts on artificial nutrient medium in controlled environment under aseptic conditions, is essential to all plant biotechnologies and is an exciting area of research for basic and applied sciences. PTC requires various nutrients, pH, carbon source, gelling agent, temperature, photoperiod, humidity, etc., and most importantly the judicious use of plant growth regulators. Various natural, adenine and phenyl urea derivatives were employed for the induction and
