Abstract
The potential benefits of establishing forests with selected vegetatively propagated clonal planting stock have long been recognized. Japanese records show that cuttings of Cryptomeria japonica have been planted continuously since around 1400 (Toda 1974). In the past decade, the potential for application of in vitro techniques to vegetative multiplication of forest trees has attracted a great deal of attention (Bonga 1974, 1977, Durzan 1980a, b, Dormling et al. 1976, Farnum et al. 1983, McKeand 1981, Mott 1982, Mott et al. 1977, Sommer and Brown 1979, Teo and Huhtinen 1975). The importance of tissue culture in forestry has recently been emphasized (Bonga and Durzan 1982).
