Abstract
While tissue culture systems represent an area of major potential in tree biology, cell culture systems are ideally suited for investigations aimed at achieving a greater understanding of the cellular physiology and biochemistry of tree species. Over the years a number of tree species have been established in cell culture and a variety of information has been obtained from such sources. We now have a greater understanding of the influence of various factors on growth rate, mechanisms of resistance against microbial attack and secondary product biosynthesis.
