Strawberry cultivation is not popular in Bangladesh due to the unpredictable climatic conditions and lack of proper cultivars. Using somaclonal variation, several new promising selections were generated and evaluated for their flowering and fruiting ability, adaptability and sustainability. To induce variation, plants were regenerated using various tissue culture techniques. Our results suggested that a high concentration of BAP in culture medium successfully resulted in the induction of somaclonal variation. Among the tissue culture techniques adopted in this study, meristem culture was most effective for induction of somaclonal variation. Twenty five putative somaclones with better horticultural features were subsequently selected and field evaluated for three clonal generations. Several of the selections reverted back to their original phenotype within 2–3 vegetative propagations. Three of the stable selections were distinct from each other in terms of fruit and other horticultural characters, and have potential for commercial cultivation in Bangladesh.
