Somaclonal Variation for Salt Tolerance in Tomato and Potato

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 36))

Abstract

Currently, genetic improvement of crop tolerance to salinity (and to other prevailing stresses) is considered a major practical alternative for improving agricultural productivity in many arid and semiarid areas in both developed and developing countries. A great effort has been directed toward the development of salt-tolerant crop plants principally through: (1) use of conventional plant breeding (Epstein et al. 1980; Saranga et al. 1992) as well as by more modern molecular techniques (Winicov 1994), both involving the transfer of genes from salt-tolerant plants into the relatively more sensitive ones; (2) use of variability existing or produced in tissue and cell culture.
