Prospects for the Introduction of Traits in Forest Trees by Cell and Tissue Culture
نویسنده
چکیده
Cell and tissue cultures offer the prospect of adding traits and producing genetic combinations which could not be obtained by sexual crossing. This would involve mutation, transcession, transduction, transformation, and somatic cell hybridisation. In vitro methods can also be used in forestry for preservation of gene resources, production of homozygous specimens, prediction of phenotypic expression, production of disease-free specimens, study of host-parasite relations and study of mycorrhizae. It is concluded that the techniques of cell and tissue culture have considerable scope for altering the genetic quality of trees.

Trees are the most important biological elements of forest ecosystems. The variability of the tree species composition inhabiting in the Oriental beech forest, not only forms different forest types but also has a remarkable impact on the species diversity of forest floor plants, due to the existence of trees in the overstory layer. In this research, forest types of an an Oriental beech were ide...

Dead trees protection, has a key role in structural and biogeochemical processes in forest ecosystems. Some aspects of dead tree dynamics have been carefully studied, but the kind and decay degree of dead trees and forest soil properties have not received enough attention. The aim of this research was to study the effect of a kind and decay degree of dead trees on soil mineral properties in the...
