Somaclonal variability of sugarbeet plants on the basis of pollen sterility

Cytology and Genetics 2004, v 38, number 5, 24-29

The nature of pollen sterility in sugarbeet regenerated plants obtanied from callus cultures of inbred lines has been investigated. It has been shown that detected male sterility of plants can be caused both by epigenetic and mutation factors. The forms with cytoplasmic and nuclear sterility have been selected.
