INTRODUCTION OF KARELIAN BIRCH TO THE CULTURE IN VITRO

Abstract

At present, the biological diversity of tree species is drying up. One of the main reasons for extinction is the destructive anthropogenic impact. According to the latest data, it became known that the Karelian birch was included in the Red Book of the Republic of Karelia as an endangered and diminishing species. The in vitro clonal micropropagation technology can help to quickly restore the population of Karelian birch. And also the technology under consideration will help to massively produce seedlings and seedlings of Karelian birch for both decorative and silvicultural purposes.
