Somatic embryogenesis for the production of Australian plants for mining restoration with special emphasis on native heaths (Epacridacea)

Description:

Presents information on the MERIWA research project to develop synthetic seed technology for Australian native species that were recalcitrant to conventional propagation methods and required for land rehabilitation. The key study groups were the Restionaceae/Cyperaceae and the Epacridaceae as major groups recalcitrant to propagation and key components in the mining rehabilitation programs.
