Somaclones

@SCJedi while reading, I think I read that there are somaclonal variants possible due to mutations during the process. What kind of variations are seen? I am really digging learning about micro-propagation.

The explants may genetically modify during culture. It's not common but not impossible. I know that a lot of companies therefore fingerprint in and fingerprint out to confirm genetic fidelity.

I recorded a webinar from Segra where Sma talks about it. I'll see if I can up out the section and post a link

I'm sure that these types of genetic abnormalities are more common when you are doing meristem work as opposed to nodal. Remember that a meristematic dome is a small cluster of cells about 0.1mm across and quite a bit more fragile and manipulatable than an apical tip or a node.
