True-to-type

True-to-type |
| Theoretically non-chimeral plants can be micropropagated
using different approaches: axillary
branching, adventitious budding, embryogenesis,... For micropropagation purposes axillary branching is the preferred technique used. In principle this yields true-to-type plants. It is the only technique which can be considered for the propagation of chimeras. |
|
| As the number of subcultures increases, a medium which was originally developped to yield axillary shoots can shift to the production of adventitious shoots. As a consequence the risks for somaclonal variation increase. |
