The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Application of Biotechnology to Orchids (2013, background): “RAPD, which is the simplest version of PCR with arbitrary primers used for detecting DNA variation and is popular due to its convenience, low cost and simplicity (Sun and Wong, 2001; Bairu et al., 2011), was used to find molecular differences to support physiological differences in Cymbidium (Teixei”
Challenges and Prospects for the Conservation of Crop Genetic Resources in Field Genebanks, in In Vitro Collections and/or in Liquid Nitrogen (2020, background): “A general principle is that, the more disorganized the cultured tissues, the higher chance of mutations [59,66].”
Genome Editing of Plants (2017, background): “Somaclonal variation and generated mutants could be assessed through similar types of analyses listed below under molecular-based screenings (see Bairu et al., 2011 for a review).”
Cryopreserved storage of clonal germplasm in the USDA National Plant Germplasm System (2017, background): “…procedures, clonal integrity is required, so callus is not used and conservative use of plant growth regulators is maintained to reduce the possibility of somaclonal variation (Nehra et al. 1992; Skirvin et al. 1994; Sahijram et al. 2003; Bairu et al. 2006; Bairu et al. 2008; Bairu et al. 2011).”
