Abstract: Abstract: The Fagaceae family includes the major tree species of the tropical, subtropical and temperate forest vegetation of the Northern Hemisphere and is widely distributed in China. Plants in this family are important in terms of their socioeconomic and ecological value. Plant tissue culture technology is one of the main methods used in promoting the excellent germplasm and asexual reproduction. This paper reviews progress made in studies of the micropropagation techniques used for Fagaceae plants, in terms of explant selection, basic media and the types and concentrations of plant growth regulator. Insights include that induction pathways should be considered in the selection of explants, and that different species require adjustments in the selection of media and plant growth regulators. Furthermore, several problems in recent studies and their solutions have been discussed, such as contamination, browning and the difficulties experienced in rooting and elongation of proliferation buds. All of this research is aimed at promoting tissue culture in Fagaceae plants.
