Review on Tissue Culture of Banana (Musa sapientum L.)

Abstract

Author(s):

Edible bananas (Musa spp.) are the major staple food for rural and urban consumers in tropical and subtropical countries and an important source of rural income. Banana is the most produced fruit in Ethiopia for food and commercial purposes. However, there are constraints in the production of bananas. Among the banana production constraints, are low production low quality, and quality of yield. The study aimed to review a simple, comprehensive, and efficiently repetitive protocol for micropropagation of bananas (Musa sapientum L.).
