Application and Improvement of In Vitro Culture Systems for Commercial Production of Ornamental, Fruit, and Industrial Plants in Poland

Abstract This work focuses on the achievements of Polish researchers in field vegetative reproduction plants under vitro conditions. For more than 50 years, micropropagation methods have been used Poland whenever is necessary. Most perennial horticultural crops, such as fruit plants, majority ornamental geophytes, and some vegetables (e.g., rhubarb horseradish), require clonal owing to their high heterozygosity, i.e., offsprings when reproduced from seeds, do not repeat parental characteristics. Various goals pursued development regenerative propagation systems for each aforementioned groups pathogen elimination, healthy rapid multiplication newly obtained valuable breeding lines cultivars, obtain polyploids, haploids, doubled haploids. Owing growing interest plant producers environmentally friendly technologies, one sections devoted issue biotization micropropagated plants.
