Abstract:: ... Subclonal variations play an important role in sugarcane varietal improvement. It is proven that some tissue culture variants are superior than the donor clones in terms of higher biomass, sugar yield and disease resistance. Only limited studies are reported on the tissue culture variants derived from intergeneric hybrid donors and its usefulness for crop improvement. The subclonal populations wer ...
