Hartmann and Kester's Plant Propagation
Hallmarked as the most successful book of its kind, this remarkably thorough treatment covers all aspects of the propagation of plants—both sexual and asexual—with considerable attention given to human (vs natural) efforts to increase plant numbers. The book presents both the art and science of propagation, and conveys knowledge of specific kinds of plants and the particular methods by which those plants must be propagated.A five-part organization outlines general aspects of plant propagation, seed propagation, vegetative propagation, methods of micropropagation, and propagation of selected plants.For anyone with an interest in how plants are grown and utilized for maintaining and adding enjoyment to human life.
Hartmann & Kester's Plant Propagation: Principles and Practices
For all undergraduate courses in plant propagation at the two-year and four-year colleges and universities. The world standard for plant propagation and horticulture for over 50 years, Hartmann and Kester’s Plant Propagation continues to be the field’s most complete, up-to-date text on plant propagation. It now contains color figures throughout, promoting learning and making it an even more useful working text and reference. It also contains extensive updates reflecting the latest commercial techniques and understanding of propagation biology. Like previous editions, it is organised into paired chapters on principles and practices, so it can easily be adapted for teaching courses that co...

Biology of Adventitious Root Formation
Charles E. Hess Department of Environmental Horticulture University of California Davis, CA 95616 Research in the biology of adventitious root formation has a special place in science. It provides an excellent forum in which to pursue fundamental research on the regulation of plant growth and development. At the same time the results of the research have been quickly applied by commercial plant propagators, agronomists, foresters and horticulturists (see the chapter by Kovar and Kuchenbuch, by Ritchie, and by Davies and coworkers in this volume). In an era when there is great interest in speeding technology transfer, the experiences gained in research in adventitious root formation may provi...
Hartmann & Kester's Plant Propagation
"As in previous editions, the book is organized into five basic parts. The initial three chapters are introductory chapters meant to support general aspects of propagation, including a historical perspective, basic plant biology concepts, and the environmental control of facilities associated with propagation and nursery practices. Part two provides a discussion of seed propagation from the initial aspects of seed development through seed production, domancy, and germination. Part three covers important aspects of vegetatibe propagation. This reorganized section begins with a basic discussion of clonal selection followed by the major chapters describing vegetative propagation by cuttings and grafting. It concludes with chapters covering layering and propagation by specialized structures, including bulbs and tuberous roots. The fourth part of the textook is a discussion of propagation utilizing tissue culture techniques."--Préface.
