Propagation of Prosopis Species: Problem Perseverance and Perspectives

Abstract

Prosopis species are predominant components of arid-land vegetation
but they are degenerated as biotic pressure has caused large scale
deforesta tion. Plant tissue culture has been proved successful in
regeneration of a large number of tree species. However, Prosopis
species are recalcitrant to regenerate and efforts made by various
workers to regenerate and propagate Prosopis are discussed in the
light of achievements made in the laboratory.
