“…This is especially important for trees, which undergo numerous dormancy cycles and are often exposed to extreme environmental changes during their long lives. Unstable expression has taken on greater significance given recent reports that environmental changes can trigger transgene silencing (Brandle et al, 1995;Ellis et al, 1996). Sexual reproduction can also affect the stability of transgene expression (Metzet al, 1997).…”

PrefaceOn February 6 th , 1902 appeared Gottlieb Haberlandts publication on "Culturversuche mit isolierten Pflanzenzellen" by the Imperial Academy of Sciences in Vienna, Austria. This paper contains Haberlandt's vision on the totipotency of plant cells, an idea with worldwide dimensions representing the actual beginning of tissue culture. When Haberlandt started culturing isolated plant cells in artificial nutrient media, he was mainly interested in cell to cell relationships within a complex multicellular organism. Haberlandt had studied the physiology of the plant tissues for a long time, and such profound dedication allowed him to understand the connection between physiology and anatomy. On that basis he has been able to make such a daring vision.In fact, it was only in 1912 that A Carrel succeeded in establishing the first animal cell cultures -which was awarded a Nobel prize -and in 1934 and 1939 respectively, the first plant tissue cultures were achieved by P.A White, R.J. Gautheret and P. Nobecourt. Commercial applications of plant tissue culture followed only in the seventies. We consider this an excellent example for the time frame required from a vision to its realisation and further to its development and broad range application.We take this anniversary also as an opportunity to remind all of us, that for developing ideas time is needed together with right conditions and atmosphere. Universities in the past used to provide, what now we are risking to lose with our hectic life style and short-term planning.This book pays homage to a great Austrian scientist, describing his life and his work and the further development, success and application of his idea. Most students and scientists relate the name Haberlandt with the first lectures of plant tissue culture. But only few are acquainted with the original pieces of work, which apart from their scientific interest are true artistic masterpieces. That is why the first part of the book contains a facsimile of the original paper and its first translation into English by AD. Krikorian and D.L. Berquam in 1969. Furthermore we find it worthwhile to pay some closer attention to the way experiments were planned, carried out and evaluated by Haberlandt in his time.It was also our intention to show the development which the initial idea has made in the past spreading into the various methods and fields of application. The second and third part of the book describe Haberlandt's life and work and historical aspects of the development of plant tissue culture in the beginnings. Who could give a better glance into the early days of plant tissue culture than R.J. Gautheret? It was from his laboratory in Paris that the senior editor brought this technique and knowledge to Vienna and established this field of Preface research here in Austria. The forth part of the book contains an overview of important topics of plant tissue culture representing the most promising areas of application at present time and giving an outlook into the future. The areas range from micropropagati...

“…The expression of another recombinant gene uidA (GUS) under the control of different promoters has been investigated in hybrid poplar and spruce (Ellis et al, 1996;Nilsson et al, 1996). In the rolC-uidA transgenic hybrid aspen, the GUS activity was tissue-specific and mainly localized in the vascular tissue, and showed seasonal changes, shifting during winter dormancy from vascular to pith and cortex, and finally disappeared in the stern tissues.…”

“…Based on these studies on poplar and spruce, Ellis et al (1996) concluded that aus expression was least variable during the growth of in-vitro regenerated transformants, but most variable in field-grown transgenie plants. On the other hand, aus activity was relatively high er in the older than younger leaves in another poplar hybrid (P. nigra X P. maximowiczii) clone NM6.…”

Aims and ScopeThe book series is intended for readers ranging from advanced students to senior research scientists and corpomte directors interested in acquiring in-depth, state-of-the-art knowledge about research findings and techniques related to all aspects of agricultural biotechnology. Although the previous volumes in the series dealt with plant science and biotechnology, the aim is now to also include volumes dealing with animals science, food science and rnicrobiology. While the subject matter will relate more particularly to agricultural applications, timely topics in basic science and biotechnology will also be explored. Some volumes will report progress in rapidly advancing disciplines through proceedings of symposia and workshops while others will detail fundamental information of an enduring nature that will be referenced repeatedly.The titles published in this series are listed at the end ofthis volume.
