Abstract
dc:descriptionTissue culture induced variation in regenerated plant progeny, up to R$\sb4$ generation (four cycles of self-pollination away from the regenerated plants) was studied. Several mutants/variants were seen, majority of them derived from the organogenic culture system. Variants such as wrinkled leaf phenotype (with a simple recessive Mendelian inheritance) and sterility (single recessive gene trait) were seen in three or more generations of the same family. Wrinkled leaf phenotype was associated with partial sterility and may be unstable since some plants showed sectors of the normal branches on a wrinkled plant and some had wrinkled branch sectors on normal plant.
