Ornamentals

  • Chapter

Abstract

Ornamentals is the group of plants par excellence where micropropagation has had a tremendous impact, historically, scientifically and economically. Probably the major reason is the high intrinsic value of the final product. Even within this group, plants with a lower intrinsic value, as e.g. most perennials plants, are less often micropropagated.
