Researchers worldwide are engaged in addressing some of these problems, including reduction in carbon dioxide accumulation, and enrichment of perennial woody species on the terrestrial ecosystem. About 12 million hectares of the world's forests disappear every year. By 2025, the world population will reach 7.5 billion, and the forest area will be reduced to well below 50 % of the current area. Reforestation is an important to prevent the loss of forest resources including timber, biodiversity and water resources. Therefore, subsequent volume of reforestation over the deforested land should be followed to safeguard the forests and maintain its size, which will require a continuous supply of planting material. Similarly fruit trees, including tropical and subtropical fruit trees, are consumed both as fresh and in the processed form including juices, beverages, and dried fruits. They are an important source of nutrition e.g. rich in vitamins, sugars, aromas and flavour compounds, and raw material for food processing industries. The production, cultivation and maintenance of tree species provide highly sustainable production systems that conserve soils, microenvironment and biodiversity. Fruit trees have longjuvenile periods and large tree size. In many fruit trees e.g. avocado and others controlled crosses are difficult to make due to massive fruit drop. Moreover, fruit trees are faced with agronomic and horticultural problems in terms of propagation, yield, appearance, quality, diseases and pests control, abiotic stresses and poor shelf life. The available genetic information in fruit crops is very limited and their genetic improvement has relied heavily upon vegetative propagation techniques and classical breeding. The key technology for biomass production of trees is propagation via micropropagation. However, there are many recalcitrant species among useful forest and fruit trees to propagate in large numbers. Recent developments of in vitro culture techniques have made it possible to commercially propagate useful trees both forest and fruit trees. In this book, comprehensive information is provided on micropropagation of economically important forest and fruit trees, which is usually available in scattered literatures. Topics cover a wide range, from tropical forest and fruit trees for paper or food supply to Prunus species for local craft bark production. This book is divided into four sections. Section A contains five chapters on different parameters influencing micropropagation, which are quality of light, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, pathogen elimination and contamination management, and molecular markers for genetic fidelity assessment. ix x Section B has five chapters on micropropagation of tropical woody species, Fagus spp., Euycalyptus, Acacia species, and Aegle marmelos medicinal tree. Section C includes 14 chapters, which are dealing mainly with micropropagation of fruit trees such as grapevine, bananas, arid zone fruit trees of India, apples, small fruits, Prunus, avocado, papaya, pistachio, olive, kiwifruit, tea, and litchi. Section D has four chapters mainly on bioreactor, photoautotrophic, thin cell layer and in vitro germplasm conservation. Even though few papers are published on litchi micropropagation, we have deliberately included this chapter just to remind the readers that plenty of work is still needed in most of the commercially important tropical fruits, including litchi. The invited authors were selected world wide from east to west. The editors are grateful to all the contributing authors for timely submission of their manuscripts, which made it possible to realise this book project. We appreciate it very much that our colleagues took some time off to review these manuscripts. We sincerely hope that our hard work will benefit all engaged in research on forest and fruit trees. s.
