Abstract
Spontaneous variation often is observed among the individuals of in vitro propagated plants (Larking and Scowcroft 1981). Somaclonal variations can be caused by either spontaneous variations during stages of unorganized growth of callus or by genetic heterogenity of explants.
Before starting masspropagation of plants, it is important to establish the extent of such variations.
In this investigation the effects of different production methods on phenotypic stability of the regenerated plants were tested with six Kalanchoe cultivars.
