TL;DR: Among species with a great potential for productivity, the gymnosperms are well represented and their capacity to give viable and true-to-type plantlets is well represented.
Abstract: In vitro mass propagation of trees of highest quality and rapid growth probably will become one of the main tools to improve forest productivity in the next 20 years (9). Today’s forests are largely plant associations which are only partially accessible to genetic control and agricultural practices. Among species with a great potential for productivity, the gymnosperms are well represented. So far about 20 of them have been studied for their in vitro performance and their capacity to give viable and true-to-type plantlets (14).
