The authors provide a comprehensive worldwide survey of the literature on the methods for multiplying orchid plants using tissue culture techniques. These are the newest techniques derived from current molecular biology research and offer great practical utility for growers of often rare and beautiful orchids. All of the information required to propagate orchids, including detailed how-to protocols for each orchid type and an outline of techniques and procedures, is provided.
