„It contains a great amount of information including the most up todate scientific results. Micropropagation of Orchids, 2nd edition, is a valuable book of reference for people working in the area oforchid cultivation and for all who are enthusiastic with orchids.“(Thaiszia Journal of Botany, 2010)
"This title comes as two separate hardcover volumes, attractively housed together within a 5-sided cardboard casing thatmatches the volume covers. This second edition expands and updatesmaterial registered in the first edition, which was published in1993 by Wiley and Sons and covered orchid micropropagation methodspublished between 1974 and 1990 within 682 pages.
