Organogenesis and Somatic Embryogenesis in Trigonella foenum-graecum: Basics, Concepts, Methods

In recent years, plant biotechnology has made an impressive progress as one of the frontiers of biotechnology of scientific and economic importance. The important morphological application of plant tissue culture is micropropagation. A small amount of tissue can be used to raise hundreds or thousands of plants in a continuous process. Micropropagation of medicinal plants is mainly carried out because in some plants seed production is difficult and many a time seeds do not show proper germination and seedling growth. This book basically deals with the tissue culture of Trigonella foenum-graecum. It is a very important medicinal plant with great therapeutic properties. The work should help shed some light on the various aspects of the tissue culture techniques of medicinal plants and be useful to the professionals in the field of biotechnology.
