Micropropagation of Woody Plants

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 41))

Abstract

Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) (family Verbenaceae) is one of the exotic, hardwood timber trees. Teak is indigenous to South East Asia (India, Burma, Thailand and Indonesia). Under favourable conditions the tree attains a large size with a tall, clean and cylindrical bole.
