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.
