Somatic Hybridization in Asparagus

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 49))

Abstract

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) (2n = 20) is a monocotyledonous perennial species belonging to the Liliaceae family and is cultivated as a vegetable. Plants of asparagus are usually raised from seeds and cultivated continuously in the field for 10 years or more. Young stems, known as spears, emerging through the ground, are harvested as the edible part of the plants from spring to autumn in Japan.
