Nearly all types of genetic change detected in plants following irradiation or chemical treatments have also been observed in plant tissue cultures. However, in plant tissue cultures the spectrum of genetic variation may be additionally enha

Protoclonal Variation in Crop Improvementzation of interspecific and intergeneric plants. Protoplasts can be isolated from diverse tissues in a wide range of species, and they are ideally suited for research in somatic cell genetics. In addition, investigations on the processes of plant regeneration and their control may contribute to a be

Larkin and Scowcroft (1981) defined this type of variation as ‘somaclonal variation’. Soma

Techniques and Mutagenesis for the Improvement of Vegetatively Propagated Plantsriation is the starting point of any breeding programme. In most crops, sufficient genetic variation is present among land races, cultivars and their wild relatives. In conventional plant breeding programmes this is followed by several years of selection and field evaluation before a desired genotyp

Mutation Breeding in Cereals and Legumestional methods of plant breeding. As early as 1942, the first mutant for disease resistance was reported in barley showing resistance to powdery mildew (Freisleben and Lein, 1942). This encouraged further work on mutation breeding, leading to the release of mutant cultivars in several crops. The FAO
