13.4 Conclusion
The method described here is of practical use for the production of stock. Rejuvenation occurred in all of the multiple buds that were cultured. This is the first report of efficient mass-clonal propagation of Shorea roxburghii and Gmelina arborea by shoot-apex culture. We have already produced stocks of these species using this method and have started an experimental plantation in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
