Data on selection and characterizing of finger millet Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. somaclonal variants regenerated from callus culture are presented and described. Among the tested genetically stable lines the somaclonal variant SE-7 was the most interesting due to its acquired important agricultural traits, such as a higher seed and biomass yield, rapid seed germination at lower temperatures, shortening of the main plant development stages. Data analysis shows that somaclonal variability can be a source to obtain initial material for further selection of new finger millet varieties.
