Application of tissue culture in afforestation and wasteland development: A mini review
Keywords:
In vitro propagation, woody trees, afforestationAbstract
Population growth influences the environmental balance in multiple ways. Thealarming rate with which the forest cover getting disappeared from the earth makes decisivemenace to the living world. The present century witness a number of initiatives to protect theexisting vegetation and to improve the green mass through tree plantation programmes.Compared to any other group of plants, trees possess some unique features like, perennialnature and robust physiological mechanisms, which help them to survive in adverseconditions. To employ trees in afforestation and waste land development programmes needsa continuous supply of huge number of plantlets, which will be possible only through in vitro propagation methods. This review focused on the advancement in the area of in vitro propagation of trees mainly used in afforestation and wasteland development programmes.Downloads
