The Role of Somaclonal Variation in Plant Genetic Improvement: A Systematic Review
Agronomy, 2023 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 ...
