Potentials of Woody Plant Transformation

  • Chapter
Plant Genetic Engineering

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 17))

Abstract

Woody plants might well be considered to be one of the mosre intractable groups of experimental organisms in existence, yet they are some of the most valuable, both aesthetically and commercially. Manipulation of these plants can be difficult for the researcher, breeder, and grower alike, but because of the peculiarities and economic value of the woody plants, success can be particularly rewarding. This chapter deals with the use of genetic engineering to modify woody plants, describing how such modifications can serve the purposes of both researchers and commercial breeders.
