Red maple (Acer rubrum) is a widely distributed North American hardwood valued for its rapid growth, fall coloration, and use in urban forestry. Its introduction into Uzbekistan’s arid-continental climate offers ecological benefits but poses propagation challenges. In vitro culture was optimized for Samarkand region.
