Abstract excerpt
Transgenic plants frequently exhibit altered phenotypes, unrelated to transgene expression, which are attributed to tissue culture-induced variation and/or insertional mutagenesis. Distinguishing between these possibilities has been difficult in clonal crops such as potato, due to their highly heterozygous background and the resulting inherent phenotypic variability associated with segregation. This study reports...
