Use of Statistics in Plant Cell Tissue Culture

Statistics and experimental design are important tools for plant cell and tissue culture researchers and should be used when planning and conducting experiments as well as during the analysis and interpretation of experimental results. The chapter provides basic concepts important to the statistical analysis of data obtained from plant tissue culture experiments and illustrates the application of common statistical procedures to analyze binomial, count, and continuous data for experiments with different treatment factors as well as identifying trends of dosage treatment factors.
