It is an honour and a privilege to study with and to have a continued support of the staff and students alike. Special thanks go to Associate Professor Dr Dora Marinova and Dr Julia Hobson for their final perusals of my thesis. My late supervisor, Dr Michael Booth for his Oxonian mentoring, tutoring, dialoguing, and the rest, until his premature death in September 2006. Emeritus Professor Laksiri Jayasuria, University of Western Australia, for giving me instigative encouragement and initial support to take on this project over a decade ago. My late friend Ric and his surviving wife Georgie Hammersley for reconnecting me with my spiritual journey in Australia. Many meditation and dhamma teachers including S. N. Goenka (formerly of

Tobacco calluses sub-cultured on media in this experiment were induced to form six main types of callus depending on the concentration levels of minerals, auxins, cytokinins, and sucrose, growth factors and amino acids in the medium. Only nine of the 81 media inhibited callus growth, and growth (increase in mass divided by initial mass of fresh matter) varied considerably reaching a maximum of nearly 200 after eight weeks on a medium high in minerals, cytokinins, sucrose, growth factors and amino acids and low in auxins. Five media induced regeneration from the calluses. This experiment is suggested as a potentially fruitful introductory test for many new or unresolved tissue culture situations.
