Genotype-Phenotype Interplay in Micropropagation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 9))

Abstract

The role of in vitro propagation (micropropagation) methods has increased steadily during the last two decades, especially with many ornamental species. In agronomic and forestry crops the low cost price of conventional propagules has limited the large scale application of micropropagation. Currently, several hundreds of millions of plants are produced through micropropagation primarily in Western Europe, United States and Far East.
