In Vitro Propagation of Gymnosperms

  • Chapter
Tissue Culture in Forestry

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 5))

Abstract

Most gymnosperms are propagated sexually through seeds. With regard to genetic improvement of a species, sexual reproduction will preserve some of the mean traits of selected families. Vegetative propagation, on the other hand, is a procedure with the potential to maintain the best characteristics of selected individuals, and therefore often is the preferred method of propagation.
