What is somaclonal variants??..how is it related to tissue culture ??
Please find below the solution to the asked query
The plants produced through micropropagation technique (tissue culture) that are genetically identical to the original plant from which they are produced are called somaclones.
These plants are expected to be exact clones but some variations arise due to chromosomal rearrangements. This variation produced in expected clones is called somaclonal variation and the plants thus produced are called somaclonal variants.
These somaclonal variants are produced by tissue culture.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the tissue culture.
