Micropropagation of Tropical Woody Species

  • Chapter
Micropropagation of Woody Trees and Fruits

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 75))

Abstract

During the last thirty years plant micropropagation has been one of the most significant contributions of biotechnology to the horticultural industry (Giles and Friesen, 1994). The possibility of mass propagation of elite, endangered, or difficult-to-propagate genotypes, in relatively small areas and time period, is the most important characteristic of micropropagation. In association with breeding programs micropropagation can have a significant impact not only in the multiplication of important genetic material, but also for thein vitromaintenance of germplasm.
