Nitrogen Metabolism and Vegetative Propagation of Forest Trees

  • Chapter
Tissue Culture in Forestry

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 5))

Abstract

In this chapter, the nitrogen metabolism of cells and tissues of economically important forest trees is interpreted in the light of our limited knowledge of the specific genetic gains to be captured by cell and tissue culture technology.
