Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology

Description:

---

Plant Tissue culture scientists in Bangladesh felt an urgent need to establish a separate organization to promote research in tissue culture and related areas and popularize the applied side of this science for the economic benefit of the country. Thus came into being in 1991, the Bangladesh Association for Plant Tissue Culture (BAPTC) with a biannual journal captioned, PTC Journal to publish scholarly research articles of its members and at the same time keeping it open to scientists outside the country. BAPTC soon realized that tissue culture without genetic engineering has limited uses; so in order to keep abreast with modern trends, the Associations name was changed to BAPTC&B; so also the name of the journal as PTC&B journal to include research articles in specific areas of plant biotechnology.
