Publisher Marketing: The rapid progress on somatic embryogenesis and its prospects for potential application to improving woody plants prompted this book. The editors believed that such a treatise was needed and would be useful to researchers and students. Volume 6 is dedicated to Professor Harry Waris, Helsinki, Finland, who did pioneer work on somatic embryogenesis.
