Re: When clones are NOT clones--Somaclonal Mutations
Thanks that's some good info. I have bought some mutants from a guy who goes through one of the big wholesale nurseries looking for varigation. I forget what percentage it happens, but enough so that he went back on a regular basis to look through a few thousand for on plant.
Also, that's the impression I was under, that you can't clone over and over too many times or you start getting genetic defeincies (had an argument awhile back on this same subject on one of the banana forums). I'll bet M.basjoo has gotten cloned on top of clone a few times.
