Plants cell tissue culture is a rapidly developing technology which holds promise of restructuring agricultural and forestry practices. During the last two decades cell culture have made considerable advanced in the field of agriculture, horticulture, plant breeding, forestry, somatic cell genetics, phytopathology etc. Plant cells can be grown in isolation from intact plants in tissue culture systems. The cells have the characteristics of callus cells, rather than other plant cell types. These are the cells that appear on cut surfaces when a plant is wounded and which gradually cover and seal the damaged area. Plant cells and tissue culture are often used for the production of primary and secondary metabolites. Plant tissue cultures can be initiated from almost any part of a plant. The physiological state of the plant does have an influence on its response to attempts to initiate tissue culture. The parent plant must be healthy and free from obvious signs of disease or decay. The source, termed explant, may be dictated by the reason for carrying out the tissue culture. Younger tissue contains a higher proportion of actively dividing cells and is more responsive to a callus initiation programme. The plants themselves must be actively growing, and not about to enter a period of dormancy. Plant tissue culture is used widely in plant science; it also has a number of commercial applications. Tissue culture is employed in; micropropagation, elimination of pathogens from plant materials, germoplasm storage, production of somaclonal varients, embryo rescue, production of haploids, production of artificial seeds, production of secondary metabolities, production of transgenic plants etc. Some of the fundamentals of the book are plant tissue culture, basic requirements for tissue culture laboratory, surface sterilization of explant materials, development of tissue culture techniques, principles of cell culture cell, special factors influencing growth and metabolism, media for culturing cells and tissues, sterilisation procedures, design and equipment of a tissue culture laboratory, isolation method for microorganisms for culture, culture preservation and stability, genetic modification of industrial microorganisms mutation etc. The present book discuss about the methods, culture preservation and stability procedures, storage and transportation of plant cell tissue culture. This book is an invaluable resource for research workers, students, technocrats, entrepreneurs, institutional libraries etc. TAGS Plant Tissue Culture in India, Commercialization of Plant Tissue Culture in India, Role of Plant Tissue Culture in Agriculture, Plant Tissue Culture Industry in India, Industrial Plant Tissue Culture, Tissue Culture in Agriculture, Plant Tissue Culture, Tissue Culture, Cell Culture and Tissue Culture, Tissue Culture and Cell Culture, Tissue Culture in Plants, Plant Cell and Tissue Culture, Commercial Plant Tissue Culture in India, Plant Tissue Culture Business Plan, Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology, Tissue Culture Plants, Plant Tissue Culture Business Plan, Business Opportunities in Plant Tissue Culture, Tissue Culture Methods, Cybrid Production, Process of Cybrids Production, Production of Cybrids, Production of Cybrid Plants, Production of Haploid Plants, Haploid Production, Plant Secondary Metabolism, Production of Secondary Metabolites, Production of Secondary Metabolites Using Plant Cell Cultures, Plant Tissue Cultures in Production of Secondary Metabolites, Secondary Metabolites Production, Production of Somatic Hybrid Plants, Somatic Hybridization of Plants, Somatic Hybrid, Somatic Hybrid Production, Production of Enriched Biomass, Enrichment on Biomass Production, Formulation of Tissue Culture Medium, Collection of Explant Materials, Subculture of Callus, Regeneration of Plants from Callus, Preparation of Chick Embryo Extract, Preparation of Embryo Extract from Young Embryos, Preparation of Bovine Embryo Extract, Preparation of Eagles Medium, Media for Plant Tissues, Organ Culture, Preparation of Trypsinised Embryonic Carcass, Enrichment Culture Methods, Genetic Modification of Industrial Microorganisms Mutation, Methods Favouring Formation of Hybrid DNA Molecules, Modes of Growth of Bacteria and Fungi, Mixed Culture and Mixed Substrate Systems, Spontaneous Mixed Culture Process, Maintenance of Protoplasts, Collection of Plant Materials, Storage of Germ Plasm of Potato, Mammalian Embryonic Tissues, Preparation of Tissues from Plants, Largescale Culture Methods, Preparation and Sterilisation of Apparatus, Preparation and Sterilisation of Media, Reservation, Storage and Transportation of Living Tissues and Cells, Culture of Plant Cells for Extraction of Secondary Metabolites, Preparation of Explant, Suspension Culture, Extraction of Secondary Metabolites, Biotransformation in Plant Cells, Immobilization of Plant Cells, Special Tissue Culture Media, Manufacturing Plant Cultures, Products from Plant Tissue Culture, Cultivation of Plant Tissue, Cultures of Tomato Roots, Tissue Culture of Tomato Roots, Preparation of Carrot Callus Culture, Tissue Culture of Carrot Callus, Carrot Callus Tissue for Culture, Cultivation of Cells in Vivo Transplantation, Cultures on Agar, Npcs, Niir, Process Technology Books, Business Consultancy, Business Consultant, Project Identification and Selection, Preparation of Project Profiles, Startup, Business Guidance, Business Guidance to Clients, Startup Project, Startup Ideas, Project for Startups, Startup Project Plan, Business Start-Up, Business Plan for Startup Business, Great Opportunity for Startup, Small Start-Up Business Project, Best Small and Cottage Scale Industries, Startup India, Stand Up India, Small Scale Industries, New Small Scale Ideas for Haploid Production Industry, Cybrid Production Business Ideas You Can Start on Your Own, Indian Secondary Metabolites Production Industry, Small Scale Somatic Hybrid Production, Guide to Starting and Operating Small Business, Business Ideas for Enriched Biomass Production, How to Start Secondary Metabolites Production Business, Starting Enriched Biomass Production, Start Your Own Somatic Hybrid Production Business, Secondary Metabolites Production Business Plan, Business Plan for Cybrid Production, Small Scale Industries in India, Haploid Production Based Small Business Ideas in India, Small Scale Industry You Can Start on Your Own, Business Plan for Small Scale Industries, Set Up Cybrid Production, Profitable Small Scale Manufacturing, How to Start Small Business in India, Free Manufacturing Business Plans, Small and Medium Scale Manufacturing, Profitable Small Business Industries Ideas, Business Ideas for Startup

Studies of evolution at the molecular level have experienced phenomenal growth in the last few decades, due to rapid accumulation of genetic sequence data, improved computer hardware and software, and the development of sophisticated analytical methods. The flood of genomic data has generated an acute need for powerful statistical methods and efficient computational algorithms to enable their effective analysis and interpretation. Molecular Evolution: a statistical approach presents and explains modern statistical methods and computational algorithms for the comparative analysis of genetic sequence data in the fields of molecular evolution, molecular phylogenetics, statistical phylogeography, and comparative genomics. Written by an expert in the field, the book emphasizes conceptual understanding rather than mathematical proofs. The text is enlivened with numerous examples of real data analysis and numerical calculations to illustrate the theory, in addition to the working problems at the end of each chapter. The coverage of maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods are in particular up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative. This advanced textbook is aimed at graduate level students and professional researchers (both empiricists and theoreticians) in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology, statistical genomics, evolutionary biology, molecular systematics, and population genetics. It will also be of relevance and use to a wider audience of applied statisticians, mathematicians, and computer scientists working in computational biology.

This comprehensive account of the human herpesviruses provides an encyclopedic overview of their basic virology and clinical manifestations. This group of viruses includes human simplex type 1 and 2, Epstein–Barr virus, Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, cytomegalovirus, HHV6A, 6B and 7, and varicella-zoster virus. The viral diseases and cancers they cause are significant and often recurrent. Their prevalence in the developed world accounts for a major burden of disease, and as a result there is a great deal of research into the pathophysiology of infection and immunobiology. Another important area covered within this volume concerns antiviral therapy and the development of vaccines. All these aspects are covered in depth, both scientifically and in terms of clinical guidelines for patient care. The text is illustrated generously throughout and is fully referenced to the latest research and developments.
