Default Re: When clones are NOT clones--Somaclonal Mutations

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.
