Abstract
Readers interested in a general discussion of the history of plant tissue culture cannot do better than to read the first two chapters of Philip White’s book, The Cultivation of Animal and Plant cells [1]. White was a pioneer in the 1930s and 1940s, along with R.J. Gautheret and P. Nobecourt, in developing tissue culture techniques.
