Abstract
The selection of variant lines in plant cell cultures has expanded
to such an extent that it is no longer easy to review the
subject in its entirety. The most recent and comprehensive review1
covers the variant cell lines which had been described by
the beginning of 1979.
The purpose of this report is to look at the progress in the selection
of cell lines resistant to various environmental stresses.
The rationale behind the selection of this kind of variant is generally
practical, the objective bei11g to obtain cultivars of crop
plants with a greater tolerance to adverse climatic o~ soil conditions.
A further potential value of resistant cell lines for
studies on the nature of stress sensitivity and resistance will
also be emphasise-d here.
Cell lines resistant to several different stresses have been
described and these are considered in the following sections.
