SOM1c, Kar-SOM1d & Kar-SOM1e) of Sebou somaclone Seb-SOM1d and of three somaclones in Isly (Isly-SOM1a, Isly-SOM1b Isly-SOM1c) compared to parents for the three varieties studied. In bread wheat, Arun et al. (2007) were able to obtain somaclonal variants with an important earliness in heading and in maturity phases. Other studies have also reported reduction in number of days to heading in somaclones of wheat compared to parents as was reported earlier (Suenaga & Kakajima, 1993; Villareal et al., 1999).
