A.  aApplications of somaclonal variation.  c1986  aWhile recombinant DNA techniques offer promise for modification of crops, the relative paucity of knowledge of plant genetics and biochemistry has delayed development of recombinant DNA-based products using higher plants. However, somaclonal variation offers an opportunity to uncover the natural variability in plants and to use this genetic variability for new product development. In this paper we describe this technology.
