In tissue culture of rice varieties of Far Eastern selection the authors isolated the somaclonal variants, estimated the variability of determinants in regenerants and selected economic important variants in population of somaclones. The high productive and dwarf lines were isolated, which can be used as initial material in subsequent selection process.

Keywords: plant breeding, rice, in vitro tissue culture, line, cultivar, somaclonal variants, somaclonal variation, productivity, shot stem.
