Efficient and rapid in-vitro plantlet regeneration via somatic embryogenesis in ornamental bananas (Musa spp.)

A simple and efficient protocol developed for plantlet regeneration through in vitro somatic embryogenesis in three ornamental bananas. In vitro propagation, especially somatic embryogenesis has been a method of choice to obtain homogenous planting material in ornamental bananas. In the present investigation, true-to-type plants via somatic embryogenesis were achieved in three ornamental bananas viz. Musa laterita, Musa beccarii and Musa...
