Somatic Embryogenesis in Woody Plants

  • Chapter
Book cover In Vitro Embryogenesis in Plants

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 20))

Abstract

Woody plants may be defined as trees and shrubs “whose stems live for a number of years and increase in diameter each year by addition of woody tissue” [1]. This contrasts with the description for herbaceous plants “with a relatively short-lived aboveground stem that is comparatively thin, soft, and nonwoody” [1]. Included in this definition of woody plants are those vines which are woody, i.e. “plants whose stems are not self-supporting, but either trail on the ground or climb by attaching to other plants or supports” [1]. In this context species such as Manihot esculenta and Carica papaya, included as woody by others [2,3] are regarded as herbaceous here.
