Propagation of Myrica gale by Micropropagation and Traditional Propagation Techniques

摘要

The genus Myrica consists of about 60 species of shrubs and small trees with worldwide distribution. Myrica gale is a deciduous, erect nitrogen-fixing shrub commonly found in open peat lands and along shores of sea, lakes, and streams in northern Europe and North America. Wet heath, upland moors, and swamps can support large communities. It can tolerate a wide range of pH (3.8 to 6.1) and grows at altitudes ranging from sea level to 400 m. The name Myrica is derived from Greek, probably connected with the word "myron", meaning perfume.
