title: Somaclonal variation--genetic basis and breeding applications.
abstract: Somaclonal variation, the recovery of genetic changes in plants regenerated from tissue culture, offers an opportunity to uncover natural variability and to use this variability for the development of new varieties. This review focuses on the unique variation generated by this technique and the current use of somaclonal variation to develop new plant varieties.
