North American oak species, with their characteristic strong episodic seasonal shoot growth,
are highly problematic for clonal micropropagation, resulting in the inability to achieve a …

In vitro propagation of northern red oak (Quercus rubra) shoots was successful from
cotyledonary node explants excised from 8-wk-old in vitro grown seedlings. Initially, four …

This paper reports the successful micropropagation of mature Quercus ilex trees known as
reluctant to in vitro propagation. Crown branch segments collected from 30 to 100 year-old …

An efficient and reproducible method for the regeneration of multiple shoots of brown oak
(Quercus semecarpifolia Sm.) has been developed in which a part of the petiolar tube …

The genus Quercus, which belongs to the family Fagaceae, is native to the northern
hemisphere and includes deciduous and evergreen species. The trees of the different …

The aim of this study was to micropropagate mature Quercus robur L. trees when material
retaining physiologically juvenile characteristics (stump sprouts, epicormic shoots) is not …

The conservation of the genetic resources of old trees is crucial to their ecological role but is
extremely difficult, especially for oak species (Quercus spp.) displaying recalcitrance in seed …

Theoretically, complete rejuvenation of mature trees should occur through somatic
embryogenesis, however, this has not been extensively studied. The main objective of the …

Oaks are important broad-leaved hardwood species of forest ecosystems, valuable from
economical and ecological point of view. The preferred means of oak propagation is from …

Methods of in vitro propagation of mature trees of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) via
somatic embryogenesis and organ cultures are described. Juvenile explants from epicormic …
