A review of somaclonal variation in plantain (Musa spp): mechanisms and applications
Open accessAbstract
Micropropagation or tissue culture is an integral component of applied biotechnology, and is routinely used in different laboratories worldwide. Plant tissue has contributed immensely in large-scale production of resistant and pest free plantlets, germplasm exchange and conservation. A common feature of in vitro-regenerated plants is the potential of genetic variation generated during tissue culture called somaclonal variation, which can be passed onto progeny.Objective: This paper reviews the factors responsible for this phenomenon, its occurrence in some crops, with emphasis on banana and plantain and its application in the genetic improvement of Musa.Key words: Plant cell culture, Somaclonal variation, Disease resistance, Banana, Biotechnology

One explanation for the high chromosomal abnormalities in callus/protoplast cultures is that regenerants result from a long series of mitoses during which numerous mutations appear spontaneously and uncontrolled, and the greater the number of subcultures, the more these mutations affect a greater amount of genetic material, as a result of disruption of cell division control mechanisms.
“One explanation is the fact that the regenerants are the result of a long series of mitoses during which numerous mutations appear spontaneously and uncontrolled, and the greater the number of subcultures, the more these mutations affect a greater amount of genetic material, as a result of the disruption of the cell division control mechanisms [29].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
