Default Banana Micropopagation

Hi,

I work on banana tissue culture about six years ago for several years. At that time we used shoot tips as explant for propagation. I would like to know if there is new development in recent years. Thanks.

Siu

Welcome to Bananas dot org Yong Choy!

When the tissue culturers see your post your question will be answered. My expertise is not tissue culture.

Welcome to the organization!!

Hi Siu! Glad to have another member involved in micropropagation. I do it as a hobby, but only with banana plants so far.
In addition, there are some methods out there generating callus tissue and also photoautotrophic micropropagation as a means of producing more plantlets. Also, some success has been achieved through culturing young flower buds. (I believe the male bud is preferred) I have not tried either method, but I may try micropropagation from young buds sometime. I don't think that I can afford the more costly equipment for callus generation. Here is a link to one of the posts with information about it: Photoautotrophic Micropropagation
