The development of transformation of temperate woody fruit crops

  • Chapter
Plant Tissue Culture

Abstract

In his memorial paper Härtel (1996) honours Haberlandts courage to break a tabu and destroy barriers between disciplines. What characterizes Haberlandt’s efforts in linking anatomy and physiology to create the most successful “Physiological Plant Anatomy” (Haberlandt 1884) nowadays would be called the capacity for transdisciplinarity.
