Plant protoplasts have proved to be an excellent tool for in vitro manipulation, somatic hybridization, DNA uptake and genetic trans- formation, and for the induction of somac1onal variation. These studies reflect the far-reaching impact of protoplast research in agriculture and forest biotechnology. Taking these aspects into consideration, the series of books on Plant Protoplasts and Genetic Engineering provides a survey of the literature, focusing on recent information and the state of the art in protoplast manipulation and genetic transformation.This book, Plant Protoplasts and Genetic Engineering VII, like the previous six volumes published in 1989, 1993, 1994, and 1995, is unique in its approach. It comprises 27 chapters dealing with the regeneration of plants from protoplasts, and genetic transformation in various species of Agrostis, Allium, Anthriscus, Asparagus, Avena, Boehmeria, Carthamus, Coffea, Funaria, Geranium, Ginkgo, Gladiolus, Helianthus, Hordeum, Lilium, Lithospermum

From its inception, artificial intelligence (AI) has had a rather ambivalent relationship with humans-swinging between their augmentation and replacement. Now, as AI technologies enter our everyday lives at an ever-increasing pace, there is a greater need for AI systems to work synergistically with humans. One critical requirement for such synergistic human-AI interaction is that the AI systems' behavior be explainable to the humans in the loop.To do this effectively, AI agents need to go beyond planning with their own models of the world, and take into account the mental model of the human in the loop. At a minimum, AI agents need approximations of the human's task and goal models, as well as the human's model of the AI agent's task and goal models. The former will guide the agent to anticipate and manage the needs, desires and attention of the humans in the loop, and the latter allow it to act in ways that are interpretable to humans (by conforming to their mental models of it), and
