Somaclonal variations and their applications in horticultural crops improvement

Abstract: The advancements made in tissue culture techniques has made it possible to regenerate various horticultural species in vitro as micropropagation protocols for commercial scale multiplication are available for a wide range of crops. Clonal propagation and preservation of elite genotypes, selected for their superior characteristics, require high degree of genetic uniformity amongst the regenerated plants. However, plant tissue culture may generate genetic variability, i.e., somaclonal variations as a result of g… Show more

“…Molecular marker had been developed to ensure the genetic variation among varieties. Somaclonal variation can pose a serious problem in any micropropagation program, where it is highly desirable to produce true-to-type plant material (Krishna et al, 2016). One of the easiest and low cost of molecular marker is Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD).…”

“…Stress factors including wound, exposure to sterilants, and high concentrations in plant growth regulators under culture conditions may cause genetic variation among the regenerants [20]. Therefore, assessment of genetic fidelity and biochemical constituents including antioxidant activity among regenerants with that of mother plant is imperative if pharmaceutical use and genetic transformation studies are the ultimate aim.…”

“…In vitro culture of plant cells and organs generates genetic variability ('somaclonal variation') resulting in 'somaclones' (regenerated plants that are not trueto-type) which can be used in sexual hybridisation for introgression of desirable alien genes into crop species, or to generate variants of a commercial cultivar at a high frequency without hybridizing it to other genotypes (Larkin and Scowcroft 1981). Ever since the first formal report of morphological variants in sugarcane plants produced in vitro in 1971, numerous somaclonal variations have been reported in several horticultural crops (Krishna et al 2016). Somaclonal variation manifests itself as qualitative or quantitative phenotypic changes, sequence changes, and gene activation/silencing (Kaeppler et al 2000).…”

“…Often, a plant regeneration system, particularly callus-mediated plant regeneration, introduces variations that may be heritable (Krishna et al 2016). The concentration and combination of plant growth regulators (PGRs), as well as subculture frequency and duration, also result in a higher frequency of variation (Matsuda et al 2014).…”
