Preface
Syntheticorartificialseedsaredescribedasalginate-encapsulatedsomaticembryos,
vegetative buds, or any other micropropagules that can be used as seeds and
converted into plantlets after propagating in vitro or in vivo conditions and also
sustain the regeneration potential after low temperature storage. Production of
synthetic or artificial seeds using micropropagules opens up new vistas in agricul-
tural biotechnology that helped to overcome the challenges that face important
economic and medicinal plant species. Encapsulated propagules could be used
for in vitro regeneration and mass multiplication at reasonable cost. In addition,
these propagules may be use for germplasm preservation of elite plant species
and exchange of plant materials between national and international laboratories.
Besides, the technology has been successfully utilizing for cryopreservation via
encapsulation-dehydration, and encapsulation-vitrification for germplasm storage
of elite plant species. Synthetic seeds are reasonably inexpensive to produce and
easy to handle, plant, and transport and have great advantages in comparison with
traditionalinvitroculturemethods.Theaimofthisbookistoproviderelevantstate-
of-the-art findings on methods, application, and prospects of synthetic or artificial
seeds.Beinginvolvedinthisarea,wecomprehendthatinformationonencapsulation

The intended volume comprised several chapters on relevant topics contributed
by experts working in the field of plant biotechnology so as to make available a
comprehensive treatise designed to provide an in-depth analysis of the subject in
question.Thebookisacompilationof22chaptershavingrelevanttext,tables,and
