Somatic Embryogenesis in Big-leaf Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King)

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 59))

Abstract

The genus Swietenia consists of three deciduous tropical American tree species. This is the source of the renowned mahogany timber, which is highly valued for its excellent properties and qualities, and regarded as one of the most beautiful woods in the world.
