Thin Cell Layer (TCL) Morphogenesis as a Powerful Tool in Woody Plant and Fruit Crop Micropropagation and Biotechnology, Floral Genetics and Genetic Transformation

The rapid evolution of advanced molecular techniques that the scientific community has witnessed over the past two decades has come to effectively complement conventional breeding, and in many cases, speed it up. The use of biotechnology largely as new tissue culture and cell biology methods and gene transfer techniques has not only come to shorten the breeding process, but has also allowed scientists to overcome some of the substantial agronomic and environmental problems that have not been solved using conventional genetic methods.
