The quality of human life has been maintained and enhanced for
generations by the use of trees and their products. In recent
years, ever rising human population growth has put tremendous
pressure on trees and tree products; growing awareness of the
potential of previously unexploited tree resources and
environmental pollution have both accelerated development of new
technologies for tree propagation, breeding and improvement.
Biotechnology of trees may be the answer to solve the problems
which cannot be solved by conventional breeding methods. The
combination of biotechnology and conventional methods such as plant
propagation and breeding may be a novel approach to improving and
multiplying in large number the trees and woody plants. So far,
plant tissue culture technology has largely been exploited in the
propagation of ornamental plants, especially foliage house plants,
by com mercial companies. Generally, tissue culture of woody plants
has been recal citrant. However, limited success has been achieved
in tissue culture of angiosperm and gymnosperm woody plants. A
number of recent reports on somatic embryogenesis in woody plants
such as Norway spruce (Picea abies), Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda),
Sandalwood (Santalurn album), Citrus, Mango (Mangifera indica),
etc., offer a ray of hope of: a) inexpensive clonal propa gation
for large-scale production of plants or "emblings" or "somatic
embryo plants," b) protoplast work, c) cryopreservation, d) genetic
transformation, and e) artificial or manufactured seed production."
