It consists of 18 chapters and covers micropropagation by means of organogenesis or somatic embryogenesis, and single cell manipulation of various species belonging to the horticultural genera \u003ci\u003eBlakstonia\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCentaurium\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGentiana\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGentianalla\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSwertia\u003c\/i\u003e. Furthermore, the application of somatic cell hybridization, haploidization and genetic variation arising from tissue and organ culture for the production of plants with new horticultural traits, such as new flower colors or sizes, or with special pharmaceutical values, is treated in detail. Also discussed are molecular markers that facilitate breeding and cultivar identification, the preservation of genetic resources by cryopreservation, the postharvest physiology of cut Gentian flowers and potted plants, and different analytical methods for the evaluation of Gentians as sources of secondary metabolites, such as xanthones and flavonoids, secoiridoids and C-glucoflavonoids, and their positive impacts on human health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume as well as the companion book \u003ci\u003eThe Gentianaceae – Volume 1: Characterization and Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e will serve as key reference works for scientists and students in the fields of botany, plant breeding, biotechnology and horticulture, as well as professional gardeners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-07-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642541018\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-54102-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 452\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47675375353996,"sku":"9783642541018","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642541018.jpg?v=1776541902","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783642541018","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
