Abstract
Traditional plant-breeding procedures are based on manipulation of genes and chromosomes through sexual reproduction in whole plants. The procedures were developed from Mendelian genetic principles and were expanded with developments in cytology, polyploidy, mutation induction, quantitative genetics, heterosis, male sterility, and related areas. In recent years a technology for genetic manipulation at the cellular level has emerged, which has a unique potential for supplementing traditional plant-breeding procedures. This technology has been developed from advances in knowledge of cell culture and molecular biology. The nature of the cell culture techniques, benefits to plant breeding from their use, and problems associated with their use are discussed in this chapter. This is an intensely researched area of science, from which new information is rapidly emerging.
