Abstract

Plant cell and tissue culture have recently received attention as a novel source of genetic variability which may have potential application in crop improvement (Larkin and Scowcroft 1981, see Bajaj 1986) including resistance to plant diseases (Brettel and Ingram 1979). The term “somaclones” has been proposed for plants derived from any form of cell culture (Larkin and Scowcroft 1981) and “somaclonal variation” as the general term for variation displayed by such plants. In some cases, the specific source of clones such as from protoplasts has been referred to as “protoclones” (Shepard et al. 1980), or from stem callus as “calliclones” (Skirvin and Janick 1976).
