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 ...

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