Abstract
Because of its rapid growth and low microbiological contamination, the coast redwood provides outstanding material for in vitro cloning. The persistence of the juvenile state in some organs (e.g., the basal shoots, young leaves and stems from the upper bole) adds to its desirability as a source of explants for experimental work. Also, the strongly excurrent rapid growth of the donor tree is carried over in the development of orthotropic plantlets in tissue culture.
