Genetic Variability in Tuber Disc-Derived Potato Plants

  • Chapter
Potato

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 3))

Abstract

During the last 15 years there have been many accounts of somaclonal variation in plants of numerous species regenerated from tissue culture. Several recent reviews (Larkin and Scowcroft 1981; Scowcroft and Larkin 1982; Chaleff 1983; Scowcroft et al. 1984) have included summaries of the majority of these reports and comments on the utility of such variation. Vegetatively propagated plants such as scented geranium (Skirvin and Janick 1976; Janick et al. 1977), potato (Bragdø-Aas 1977; Binding et al. 1978; Matern et al. 1978) and sugarcane (Liu and Chen 1976, 1978) were utilized in the early studies primarily due to the relative ease of regeneration from tissue culture, the inessentiality for sexual fertility and the appearance of obvious phenotypic variants in the initial, regenerated plant population. The potential for crop improvement in these species has been demonstrated, although the utilization of somaclonal variation in plant breeding programmes has been very limited.
