Micropropagation of Persian Walnut (Juglans regia L.)

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 18))

Abstract

The English or Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.), a member of the Juglandaceae, is native to the mountain ranges of central Asia (McGranahan and Leslie 1990). This species of walnut is valued commercially for its nuts and in some areas for its timber. It is now extensively cultivated in North and South America, Europe, Asia and to a limited extent in North Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Related species include the black walnuts (J. nigra, J. hindsii, J. major), butternut (J. cinerea), pecans and hickories (Carya spp.), and wingnuts (Pterocarya spp.).
