Emphasizing plant propagation principles applied in temperate and tropical environments, this student-friendly textbook combines essential concepts with laboratory exercises that demonstrate real-world applications of the theory in question. It places modern understanding of plant molecular and physiological responses within a framework of traditional plant propagation. Packed with up-to-date information and laboratory protocols, this work provides a primary text for plant science students as well as a valuable reference for professionals and advanced students. An attached CD augments the text with illustrations and PowerPoint presentations.
