Regeneration of Plants from Protoplasts of Ulmus Species (Elms)

  • Chapter
Plant Protoplasts and Genetic Engineering V

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 29))

Abstract

Elms belong to the Ulmaceae family. The genus Ulmus comprises about 30 species of usually deciduous trees. They are native to the Northern Hemisphere throughout four continents (Bean 1980). Europe has 5 species, North America 8 species, and no less than 23 species have been identified in Asia where China appears to be the center of diversity of the genus (Heybroek 1981). Natural distribution and habitats of elms range from sea level up to 3900 m and from the edge of the tundra to the tropics in Central America and Southeast Asia.
