title: Callus, suspension culture, and hairy roots. Induction, maintenance and characterization.
abstract: The growth is a characteristic of each culture and it is determinate by the origin of the species, culture conditions, and type of culture. In this chapter, we make a comparison of the different growth parameters among three different species and three different types of cultures.
