Rosa spp. (Roses): In Vitro Culture, Micropropagation, and the Production of Secondary Products

  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants III

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 15))

Abstract

The genus Rosa includes over 100 species which are distributed throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere (Rehder 1960). Chromosome numbers range from 2n = 2x = 14, to 2n = 8x = 56 (Darlington and Wylie 1955). The DNA content of the rose genome is amongst the lowest recorded in the Angiospermae, the 4C value of R. wichuraiana (2n =14) measuring only 0.45–0.48 pg (Lloyd 1986). The chromosomes are correspondingly small (Fig. 1).
