888 FG. 8.8. Somaclonal variation. (A) Haploid plant from which cultured tissue was obtined. (B) Cell suspension culture fmm haploid plant. (C) Mutant cell in suspension culnare. (D) Aggregate of mutant cells. (E) Haploid plandet that exhibits the mutant character. Culturing celts from haploid plants permits either dominant or recessive mutations to be exhibited in the regenerated plantlet. If tissue from diploid plant b culured, only dominant mutations will be Immediately expressed but recessive mutations will be expressed in some progeny plants as a result of segregation
