Abstract
For the past six and one halt years, the Tissue Culture for Crops Project has worked to define and demonstrate the usefulness of plant tissue culture in improving world agricultural production. In particular, our mandate has been to increase the tolerance of cereals and legumes to important soil stresses such as salinity, acidity, and drought. Together, these stresses limit production on over 60% of arable land and a larger percentage of potentially cultivated hectarage. The small landholders and tenant farmers of developing nations are most affected, for they often have the poorest land and most need not only food sufficiency but also excess production to feed the teeming cities and for export to other countries...
