Sometimes the dwarfing aspect of TC derives from induced mutation, other times it can come from using the same explant material too many times. In some cases, dwarfing is a sought after trait. Varying hormone levels in the medium can also produce sports with odd traits. In general, however, it is the exception and not the rule.
