STUDY OF CALLUS INDUCTION IN BANANA (Musa sp)
Abstract
Proembryo calli were produced from basal sheath and rhizome tissue excised from
multiplying shoot clusters in cvs. SH 3362 and GN 60A (AAA). SH medium with 30 M/l
3,6 dichloro-2 methoxybenzoic acid and 5M/l thidiazurone showed best results. Browning
of explant was reduced by addition of cystein and methioninne. Light and dark treatments
were given to reduce the browning in the explant
