The information in the areas of synthetic seed preparation technology, its implications, achievements and limitations information is presented in this monograph in organized way with up-to-date citations, which will provide comprehensive literature of recent advances.To be an expert in artificial seeds, one should have enough practical hand in plant tissue culture. The base materials for production of synthetic seeds are somatic embryos or tissue culture derived materials, viz. shoot tips, axillary buds, meristem etc. To produce large number of synthetic seeds, a continuous supply of source material is very essential. The different sources of encapsulating plant materials have been detailed in this book as a separate chapter. A separate chapter also has been included on hardening of artificial seed derived plantlets or plant tissue cultured derived plantlets to make the in vitro developed plantlets suitable for planting in field condition. The main aim of artificial seeds is to obtain true-to-type plants; consequently the different methods of testing clonal fidelity have been also covered in the book Note: T& F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The title is co-published with New India Publishing Agency
