Abstract
Capacity to utilize somaclonal variation for breeding purposes has been shown within the following species: Nicotiana tabacum (Barbier and Dulieu, 1980), Lycopersicon esculentum (Sibi, 1982), Triticum aestivum (Sears and Deckard, 1982 ; Larkin and Scowcroft, 1983 ; Larkin et al., 1984 ; Galiba et al., 1984 ; Sears, 1985. Larkin and Scowcroft (1983) defined the somaclonal variation as tissue-culture derived phenomena.
