Abstract
Encouraging reports of the development of techniques for in vitro mutant selection (56) and for fusion, culture and regeneration of somatic hybrid plants from protoplasts of herbaceous species (79) suggest applications of new techniques in genetic improvement programs for forest trees. In addition, through a more thorough understanding of gene expression in higher organisms (9), genetic engineering of plants, including forest species, is likely to become a reality in the near future (47). Previous reviews have addressed the topic of somatic cell genetic manipulation of plants (26, 28, 56, 72, 78, 79, 83). The present paper will discuss the use of in vitro systems for genetic modification of forest trees. It must be noted at the outset that recent contributions are few in number. Considerable additional effort must be expended before use of such techniques becomes an integral part of tree breeding programs.
