Clonally propagated crops

Heterozygous genomes are widespread in outcrossing and clonally propagated crops. However, the variation in heterozygosity underlying key agronomic traits and crop domestication remains largely unknown. Cassava is a staple crop in Africa and other tropical regions and has a highly heterozygous genome.

Somatic variation is a valuable source of trait diversity in clonally propagated crops. In grapevine, which has been clonally propagated worldwide for centuries, important phenotypes such as white berry colour are the result of genetic changes caused by transposable elements.

Banana (Musa spp.) is important fruit crop in India. Banana is one of the oldest and most popular fruit grown in India with great socio-economic significance. The present study aims to assessment of clonal fidelity and genetic analysis of tissue culture raised banana (Musa spp.) plant. Banana tissue culture propagation is a new an established a popular technology due to the advantages. Through plant tissue culture method large scale production is possible in short time.
