The Role of Somaclonal Variation in Plant Genetic Improvement: A Systematic Review [PDF]
The instability of in vitro cultures may cause genetic and epigenetic changes in crops called somaclonal variations. Sometimes, these changes produce beneficial effects; for example, they can be used in breeding programs to generate new cultivars with ...

Somaclonal Variation in Chrysanthemum × morifolium Protoplast Regenerants [PDF]
Chrysanthemum × morifolium protoplasts were isolated and regenerated to assess possible protoclonal variation in the regenerants. After a preliminary screening of the potential of different regeneration systems for protoplast regeneration, we produced a ...

Case Study of Somaclonal Variation in Resistance Genes Mlo and Pme3 in Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) Induced by Nanoparticles [PDF]
Nanoparticles influence on genome is investigated worldwide. The appearance of somaclonal variation is a cause of great concern for any micropropagation system. Somaclonal variation describes the tissue-culture-induced phenotypic and genotypic variations.

Improving Strawberry Varieties by Somaclonal Variation
Somaclonal variation is a breeding method utilizing natural genetic variation induced by a tissue culture process instead of by hybridization. This offers an alternative to mutation breeding for the introduction of new genetic variations in existing ...

Mechanisms of Somaclonal Variation [PDF]
ABSTRACTAlthough plants derived from tissue cultures are the product of asexual reproduction they may show considerable phenotypic and genotypic variability, or “somaclonal variation”. This review describes our current understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved.

Removal of Transgenes and Evaluation of Yield Penalties in Genome Edited Bacterial Blight Resistant Rice Varieties. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bacterial blight (BB) of rice, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is one of the major drivers of yield losses in Africa and Asia. Xoo secretes TAL‐effectors (TALe) that induce host SWEET sucrose uniporter by binding to the effector binding element (EBE) of SWEET promoters, likely required for Xoo reproduction and virulence.
