In vitro conservation of Angelica pachycarpa, an Iberian endemic Apiaceae of the Portuguese Berlenga Islands

Resumen

INTRODUCTION
Continuing our research on the in vitro and ex situ conservation of the Iberian endemic Apiaceae in Portugal (Tavares & al. 2007), we present the first results on the micropropagation of Angelica pachycarpa Lange. This species requires particular conservation measures since its geographical distribution in Portugal is resctrited to very small areas of the west coast in the north of Lisbon and in the Berlenga Islands (Parker, 1981; Castroviejo & al., 2003;
