Micropropagation of Woolly Foxglove (Digitalis lanata) by Shoot Tip Culture

  • Chapter
High-Tech and Micropropagation III

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 19))

Abstract

D. lanata (family Scrophulariaceae) grows on poor soil in southeast Europe, with its dry and warm climate. It may, however, be cultivated in other parts of the world, e.g., in Central and Western Europe (Heeger 1956; Mastenbroek 1980, 1985), and in North and South America (Claus et al. 1970).

Flowering D. lanata clonal plants
