A method for the in situ activation of the normally dormant needle fascicles of gymnosperms and the clonal propagation of gymnosperms and the clones produced thereby. The method for the in situ activation of the needle fascicles of gymnosperms to produce shoots comprising the step of contacting the terminal portion of a stem of the gymnosperm with between about 0.01 to 20 mg of a cytokinin. And, the method for the clonal propagation of gymnosperms and the production of clones thereof comprising the steps of contacting the terminal portion of a stem of the gymnosperm with between about 0.01 to 20 mg of a cytokinin; allowing the shoots to elongate; excising the elongated shoots from the stem and rooting the excised shoots.
A process for the in situ activation of normally dormant needle fascicles of gymnosperms to produce shoots, comprising the step of contacting the terminal portion of a stem of said gymnosperm with between about 0.01 to 20 mg of a cytokinin.
A method of clonal propagation of gymnosperms comprising the steps of contacting the terminal portion of a stem of said gymnosperm with between about 0.01 to 20 mg of a cytokinin to activate the needle fascicles of said stem;
A gymnosperm clone produced by a process comprising the steps of contacting the terminal portion of a stem of said gymnosperm with between about 0.01 to 20 mg of a cytokinin to activate the needle fascicles of said stem;
