Somaclonal Variation in Rauwolfia

  • Chapter
Somaclonal Variation in Crop Improvement II

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 36))

Abstract

Rauwolfia (Apocynaceae family) species are distributed in tropical regions of Africa, Central and South America, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Altogether, the genus covers 140 species, most of which are shrubs, less frequently trees up to 18–21 m in height (R. macrophylla Stapf and R. caffra Sond), or intermediate forms up to 6 m high (R. vomitoria Afzel).
