Gametoclonal variation in crop improvement

  • Chapter
In Vitro Haploid Production in Higher Plants

Part of the book series: Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture ((PSBA,volume 24))

Abstract

The variation observed among plants regenerated from cultured gametic cells is termed gametoclonal variation (Evans et al.,1984; Morrison and Evans, 1987). The concept of gametoclonal variation evolved from that of somaclonal variation, a term first proposed and promoted by Larkin and Scowcroft (1981). Both gametoclonal and somaclonal variation have been detected in cultured cells and regenerated plants for morphological characteristics, biochemical characteristics, and chromosome number and structure.
