Effect of Phloroglucinol on Shoot Growth and Initiation of Roots in Carob Tree Cultures Grown In Vitro

  • Chapter
Plant Cell Culture in Crop Improvement

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 22))

Abstract

The number of reports on in vitro regeneration of tree species has risen rapidly in recent years (1, 2, 3). However, there have been few reports concerning multiplication of leguminous trees by tissue culture methods and hardly any success is achieved in regenerations from their callus tissues (4).
