  • Chapter
Somatic Embryogenesis in Woody Plants

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 44-46))

Abstract

The Caribbean pine, Pinus caribaea Morelet var. hondurensis Barret et Golfari, is a fast growing and high yielding species originating from central America and planted mainly in South America, West Africa and Australia. It is an important coniferous species for timber and pulp production.
