Plant tissue culture or micropropagation technique is the rapid method to multiply newly released cultivar in limited time. Crop improvement by conventional method in vegetatively propagated crops like sugarcane is very difficult due to its narrow genetic base and other limitations. Somaclonal variations are easily achieved in asexually propagated crops like sugarcane and banana. Tissue culture derived variations are known as somaclonal variation. These variations play an important role in crop improvement program. Genetic variations are heritable in next generation and important for crop improvement, epigenetic changes are temporary ultimately reversible. Mutation breeding...
