Improvement of Plants by Biotechnology
The traditional plant imprownent methods consisted of pure line selection, cross breeding, heterosis breeding, polyploid breeding, mutati-onbreeding, ect.Biotechmoiogy is divided into gene spliclng , monocle-nal antibodies , protein engineering , agricultural research, and microbiological engineering. Of these , high plants deal with agricultural research, and the importent part of which is tissue culture and celLculture , Tissue .culture and cell culture are again divided into embryoculture, test tube fertilization, anther and pollen culture, somatichybridization , transformation, recombination, recombinant DNA moleculehybrid plasmid, ect For these haploid production, protoplast culture,protoplast fusion, selection and propagation, ect. , the technical sett-lement is needed.
