The Propagation Of Plants Has Long Been Recognized As A Fundamental Practice In The Field Of Plant Science. Various Special Treatments Are Followed In The Production Of Horticultural Plants, And For This Reason Their Propagation Presents Certain Problems And Difficulties Not Encountered In Other Lines Of Work. This Book Has Been Prepared Primarily As A Text For Horticulture And Related Courses. The Essential Features Of Plant Structure And Reproduction Have Been Introduced In Their Relation To Seed Production, Root Formation, Wound Healing, And Other Practical Phases Of Plant Propagation. The Methods Of Asexual Propagation, Including Bulbs, Layerage, Cuttage, Budding, And Grafting Are Considered In Comprehensive Form. Practices Followed In The Propagation Of Certain Important Species Are Presented In Detail. A Discussion Of Certain Plant Diseases, And Transplanting, Is Also Included Because Of The Relationship Of These To The Growth And Longevity Of Plants. Basic Factors Of Plant Growth And Response Are Considered With Respect To Their Relationship To Commercial Practices. The Material Included In This Work Is Considered To Be Of Fundamental Value To Students In Agriculture; It Is Regarded As Being Especially Useful To Students In Succeeding Courses In Vegetable Crops, Fruit Growing, Forestry, Floriculture, And Ornamentals. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Seeds; Chapter 3: Flowers And Fruits; Chapter 4: Germination Of Seeds; Chapter 5: Forcing Equipment; Chapter 6: Asexual Propagation; Chapter 7: Bulbs And Related Structures; Chapter 8: Layerage; Chapter 9: Cuttage; Chapter 10: Graftage; Chapter 11: Grafting Waxes, Materials And Tools; Chapter 12: Methods Of Grafting; Chapter 13: Methods Of Budding; Chapter 14: Propagation Of Certain Plants; Chapter 15: The Relation Of Propagation Of Certain Plants; Chapter 16: Transplanting; Chapter 17: Growing And Handling Of Nursery Stock.

In horticulture, plant propagation plays an important role, as the number of plants can be rapidly multiplied, retaining the desirable characteristics of the mother plants, and shortening the bearing age of plants. There are two primary forms of plant propagation: sexual and asexual. In nature, the propagation of plants most often involves sexual reproduction, and this form is still used in several species. Over the years, horticulturists have developed asexual propagation methods that use vegetative plant parts. Innovation in plant propagation has supported breeding programs and allowed the production of high quality nursery plants with the same genetic characteristics of the mother plant, free of diseases or pests.

In 1980, a conference on tissue culture of fruit crops was held at Beltsville to summarize the current status of this technology and to stimulate interest in it among research scientists, students, and commercial producers in the U. S. Interest in that conference and the proceedings from it far exceeded the expectations of the organizing committee. Since that time, micropropagation of fruit crops in the U. S. has increased significantly, but still lags far behind applications to production of ornamental plants. Within the past two years, a number of new laboratories have been established and some of the existing laboratories have expanded to a size far larger than any previously anticipated. Creation of new laboratories capable of producing more than 400,000 plants per week will test the ingenuity of laboratory managers and the skills of marketing departments. In recent years, numerous symposia have been held on various aspects of biotechnology and genetic engineering. Although micro propagation is the key to providing large numbers of genetically engineered plants, it is a topic that has been relegated to a minor position, or ignored completely, at such meetings. Accordingly, the time seemed propitious for a conference devoted solely to all aspects of micropropagation as applicable to horticultural crops.
