Abstract
Salix L. is the largest genera of family Salicaceae. Commonly known as ‘willows’, the genus Salix is a large contributor to the energy crop systems, an important source of natural ‘aspirin’ (Salicin and derivatives) and a large number of active constituents with medicinal properties. The dioecious nature of the tree and different geographical distributions of the male and female counterparts renders it difficult to propagate via seeds. Several studies have been published on the clonal micropropagation of Salix L. in the past 40 years; however, only four studies reported the callus culture systems. The presented review focus on the limited knowledge of callus induction protocols in Salix L. throughout the genera and the importance of pursuing this line of study.
