Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 24-26))

Abstract

Previous reviews have already expounded on the uses of tissue culture to aid in the more effective utilization of Arecaceae (i.e., palm family) (9, 18, 20, 51, 58, 84, 98, 104, 116). The palm family consists of over 200 genera and about 2500 species (9, 84, 104). Palms are woody tree-like monocots ubiquitous in the tropics. However, several important species also are native to mediterranean and desert climates. A great deal of variation in palm structure, morphology, and size occurs within the palm family although two monocotyledenous characteristics are common; i.e., the trunk consists of numerous scattered cortical layers interdispersed with vascular bundles and fibers, and fruits are either drupes or berries occurring in discreet compact inflorescence packages terminating at the end of inflorescence buds.
