Thirty years ago, in vitro propagation was a new technique for producing plants, and Lydiane Kyte’s Plants from Test Tubes became the standard work on the topic. The new fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the many advances in science and technology, including the five accepted sequential stages of micropropagation. Ten new plants have been added. This in turn has greatly expanded the already extensive bibliography. Among the new topics that have been introduced or expanded on are embryo culture for breeding, somaclonal variation, anther culture, somatic embryogenesis, cryopreservation, and genetic engineering. More ornamental plant examples are given and many new illustrations provided, including a chronology of discoveries in micropropagation.

Biotechnology has come to a stage where, by replacing some of the age old practices of breeding, it can produce novel and improved plants and animals that can better serve human beings and their purposes. The techniques of cellular and subcellular engineering, such as gene splicing and recombinant DNA, cloning, hybridomas and monoclonal anti bodies, production of human insulin, protein engineering, industrial fermentation, artificial insemination, cryopreservation and ovum trans fer, plant tissue culture and somatic hybridization, nitrogen fixation, phytomass production for biofuels etc have advanced greatly in the past decade, due to the availability of better equipment and the consolida tion of knowledge. Product orientation has removed biotechnology from the area of pure academic interest to one of utility where the final product is a spur to action. Businesses have started pouring money into projects, which has aided greatly in improving equipment, information exchange, and arousing the interest and imagination of the public. The common goal of science, industry and the public opens wide vistas and great hopes for biotechnology. The business of biotechnology addresses itself to issues of factory farming, technology transfer, joint ventures, international cooperation and to specific topics as well as the produc tion of diagnostic kits. Industry is particularly concerned with the phar maceutical field and microbial biotechnology from which profitable return§ can accrue. Commercial interests have led to better management practices and systematisation.

This is the third edition of this thought-provoking work and the book's popularity attests not only to the international growth in plant medicine but in particular the growing anecdotal reporting by patients of remarkable cancer cures from ingesting various forms of papaya leaves and fruit. This book puts effective home health care easily within our reach.

Nature has provided us with almost 600 known carotenoids, ranging from yellow orange to red hues and some of these possess Vitamin A activity of varying degrees. Palm fruit oil is one of the richest natural plant sources of carotenoids with concentration in the range of 500–700 parts per million—ppm. Palm fruit oil has over 15 times more carotenoids than carrots and 300 times more than tomatoes. What differentiates Palm fruit oil from others is the quantity of its carotenoids. No other vegetable oil contains carotenoids in such significant quantities like palm fruit oil. Analysis shows that alpha and beta carotenes constitute approximately 90% of the total carotenoid content. Carotenoids are organic pigments that are found in the chloroplasts and chromoplasts of plants and some other photosynthetic organisms. Carotenoids, the colorful plant pigments some of which the body can turn into vitamin A, are powerful antioxidants that can help prevent some forms of cancer and heart disease, and act to enhance your immune response to infections. These precursors to vitamin A are sometimes called provitamin A. Bright-orange beta-carotene is the most important carotenoid for adequate vitamin A intake because it yields more vitamin A than alpha-carotene or gamma-carotene. Palm fruit oil is naturally free of trans fats. That makes it a very good oil but you must be able to know the difference between palm fruit oil and palm kernel oil. Both oils come from the same tree but are totally different. One is very good for your heart and the other is not so good. Palm Fruit oil is enriched with vitamin E and beta-carotene. Palm fruit is oil-rich with reddish-black skin and yellow-orange fleshy part. That the Egyptian and other civilizations have used palm fruit oil for centuries attest to palm fruit oil being one of the most nutritious and beneficial edible oil in the world today. The inability for so long to distinguish the benefits of other products from the palm tree from palm fruit oil is perhaps why the palm fruit is not known in more households as it should be. The stigma attached to the palm kernel oil has kept the palm fruit oil in the dark. When it comes to oils palm fruit oil is otherwise a bona fide food. Palm fruit oil has a powerhouse of antioxidant nutrients. The same ones that give tomatoes, carrots, some other fruits and vegetables their rich red and orange colors. Palm fruit oil contains more antioxidants than tomatoes or carrots. Red palm fruit oil is also densely packed with tocotrienols—a powerful form of vitamin E. If you do not have a bottle at home, now is the time to write it down in your things to purchase list because Palm fruit oil is it. You can now buy this product (Red Palm Oil) from Walmart.
