In Vitro Control of Morphogenesis in Conifers

  • Chapter
Cell and Tissue Culture in Forestry

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

Abstract

One of the important problems in forestry is the establishment of propagules of high quality for planting. Traditionally this implies the problem of selection through generations. However, due to their slow growth, long vegetative phase before the flowering phase, and their large size, breeding and selection of trees by conventional genetic methods are difficult. In breeding orchards, only female partners can be selected because open pollination relies on airborne pollen. Furthermore, delayed periods of flowering of the two parental partners strongly limit the possibilities for genetic selection. Finally, in situ controlled pollination is expensive.
