Abstract

The plant tissue culture (ptc) technique has grown spectacularly since the 1930’s when it was demonstrated that aseptic plant organs and explants could be subcultured (Gautheret 1983). A dramatic example of this growth is the large number of ptc research articles published in 1985, 4,200, which is seven times greater than that published in 1965 (Bhojwani et al 1986). Another even more significant growth indicator is the attendance of more than 1,500 scientists at the 1986 International Association of Plant Tissue Culture (IAPTC). The number attending exceeded by approximately one-third that attending the 1982 IAPTC meeting. It does appear that the ptc technique has evolved from an art to that of a science with principles that assure reasonable experimental reproducibility. However, the question of ptc as an art or a science is irrelevant as it has dramatically affected the practice of the plant sciences in academia, the government, and industry.
