RT article T1 Aberrant Citrus Plants obtained by Somatic Embryogenesis of Nuceli Cultured Invitro A1 Navarro, Luis A1 Ortiz Marcide, Jesús M. A1 Juárez, José AB Virus-free plants of 8 monoembryonic cultivars of Citrus clementina Hortex Tan. were obtained by somatic embryogenesis of the nucellus cultured in vitro.Twenty-nine percent of them had abnormal phenotypic characters that were maintainedfor 7 years in the greenhouse, and by budwood propagation on different rootstocks.Electrophoretic studies of the proteins disclosed differences in band intensityand distribution between normal and abnormal plants, indicating the possibility ofgenotypic variations. Alternative methods to obtain virus-free citrus plants are advisedto reduce the high percentage of abnormalities.
