Somatic mutation, a main biological phenomenon of citrus and other fruits, is often used for breeding as a major variation source. Spontaneous mutations often occur in citrus.
体细胞突变是柑橘等果树比较常见的生物学现象,也是品种选育,即芽变选种的主要变异来源。

Thus, the somatic cell variation in combination with physical and chemical mutagenesis can be considered as one approach to improve fruit crops and have achieved success in some fruit crops.
体细胞变异结合物理化学诱变法可被视作改良果树作物的一种手段,并且在一些果树作物中获得了成功。
