Light regimes used in conifer tissue culture

  • Chapter

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

Abstract

Light has a major influence on the growth, development and morphogenesis of plants. In an in vitro environment, where conditions are manipulated to optimize a given response, careful consideration should be given to light quantity and intensity as well as the photoperiod. Unfortunately, all too often the light regime used for a given microculture situation is based either on (1) incomplete information of the optimum in vitro requirements for the species and tissue with which one is working or (2) the conditions that currently exist or are available in a particular research setting. Often a compromise must be also made when choosing a light regime to satisfy a wide range of species within a single growth area.
