Now Whereas the first volume describes
general aspects, such as perspectives and methodology of conserving plant
germplasm, with examples of specific crops, the second volume is broadly
concerned with special applications uniquely associated with in vitro
conservation of plant genetic resources, concomitantly highlighting its
shortcomings for germplasm conservation.
