Abstract
An in vitro screening method for identifying insect tolerant genotypes or clones is described. The method comprises growing plantlets in an in vitro system, screening the plantlets for molecular variation of somaclones using RAPD analysis in vitro, selecting the somaclones having molecular variation, exposing the somaclones to insect larvae or nymphs and identifying the surviving somaclones.
