Protocols for Micropropagation of Woody Trees and Fruits

MICROPROPAGATION OF BLACK LOCUST 199
research is, however, needed to obtain high quality micropropagated plants for afforestation
and forest tree breeding purposes. Microporpagation technique is also important
when utilizing somaclonal variation and/or gene engineering techniques. Micropropagation
may also be used to preserve gene resources of black locust and combined
with tree breeding, it may improve industrial utilization of the black locust wood.
