This volume provides reviews of important aspects of in vitro cultivation and presents the increasing understanding of the wide ramifications of in vitro techniques. The book also focuses on specific topics in cell culture such as cellular senescence in vitro; introduction and expression of foreign DNA sequences in mammalian cells; media for insect cell cultures; agricultural applications of in vitro plant cultivation; and fish cell culture.
