Keywords:

Explants with apical domes have been reported to have higher rate of survival. In vitro propagation of banana (Musa spp.) from the apical explants isolated from the sword suckers is described here. Explants with apical domes were successfully cultured on Murashige and Skoog’s medium containing 6-Benzyl Amino Purine , Kinetin , Indole -3-acetic acid , Naphathalene acetic acid and Adenine Sulphate. Multiple shoot initial could be produced from shoot tip explants in presence or absence of apical domes but the survival rates of explants were high when the apical domes were retained. From the in vitro apical culture of banana it was found out that 3 mg/lt BAP + 3 mg/lt KN + 1 mg/lt IAA + 150 mg/lt ADS induction medium and 3 mg/lt BAP + 1 mg/lt IAA + 0.25 mg/lt NAA + 75 mg/lt ADS multiplication medium shows remarkable results during different phases of in vitro culture.

Abstract

Explants with apical domes have been reported to have higher rate of survival. In vitro propagation of banana (Musa spp.) from the apical explants isolated from the sword suckers is described here.

Multiple shoot initial could be produced from shoot tip explants in presence or absence of apical domes but the survival rates of explants were high when the apical domes were retained. From the in vitro apical culture of banana it was found out that 3 mg/lt BAP + 3 mg/lt KN + 1 mg/lt IAA + 150 mg/lt ADS induction medium and 3 mg/lt BAP + 1 mg/lt IAA + 0.25 mg/lt NAA + 75 mg/lt ADS multiplication medium shows remarkable results during different phases of in vitro culture.
