“…Ever since somaclonal variation was introduced as a novel source of variability in cell cultures for plant improvement, by , it has attracted considerable attention in non-woody species (see Bajaj, 1990Bajaj, , 1996Cullis and Greissen, 1987;Gould, 1986;Krikorian et al, 1989;Skirvin et al, 1994), as weIl as in woody plants (see Ahuja, 1987a;Chen and Ahuja, 1993;Fry et al, 1998;Michler, 1993;Ostry and Michler, 1993;. In this chapter I shall briefly examine the sources and spectrum of somaclonal variation, but focus mainly on its genetic basis and its application to forest trees.…”

Aims and ScopeThe book series is intended for readers ranging from advanced students to senior research scientists and corpomte directors interested in acquiring in-depth, state-of-the-art knowledge about research findings and techniques related to all aspects of agricultural biotechnology. Although the previous volumes in the series dealt with plant science and biotechnology, the aim is now to also include volumes dealing with animals science, food science and rnicrobiology. While the subject matter will relate more particularly to agricultural applications, timely topics in basic science and biotechnology will also be explored. Some volumes will report progress in rapidly advancing disciplines through proceedings of symposia and workshops while others will detail fundamental information of an enduring nature that will be referenced repeatedly.The titles published in this series are listed at the end ofthis volume.
