Abstract

Since 2018, the Laboratory for Plant Tissue Culture of Croatian Forest Research Institute has been working on the development of protocols for micropropagation of the most important and most endangered forest tree species in the Republic of Croatia. Increasing climate changes negatively affect forest systems stability, favouring the emergence of new and increasing the spread of existing forest pests and pathogens. Finding and preserving superior genotypes that could survive in the changed conditions is becoming increasingly important for forest conservation. By applying the micropropagation technique, this process can be accelerated any times.
