Abstract
Biotechnical procedures based on the totipotency of cells are an important instrument for propagation of ornamental plants. An overview on the in vitro methods, including propagation via meristem culture, thin cell layer, regeneration via organogenesis, somatic embryogenesis is presented. The innovative role of botanical gardens in the development and practical uses of biotechnological approaches is discussed.
