In conjunction with cryopreservation SE offers an opportunity to develop highly valuable clone lines. Commercial deployment of such genetically tested clone lines in forestry will dramatically increase forest productivity over any available conventional tree improvement techniques. However sufficient technical advances must be made to use SE in clonal forestry. Progress in SE techniques and genetic stability of clones is reviewed using white spruce Picea glauca and eastern white pine Pinus strobus as model species. There are several other issues in implementing clonal forestry. The main concern is managing clonal plantations for optimal genetic gain and diversity. The issues and considerations for selecting appropriate numbers of clones and deployment strategies are discussed. A clonal deployment strategy using a mixture of clones and seedlings is proposed for eastern Canada. somatic embryogenesis cryopreservation genetic stability clonal forestry tree improvement Résumé - Mise en reuvre de l embryogenese somatique des coniferes en foresterie multiclonale exigences techniques et considerations sur son utilisation. Le clonage des arbres réalisé à l aide de l embryogenèse somatique ES pourrait avoir un impact majeur sur l amélioration des arbres et la foresterie commerciale de plantation.
