In Vitro Propagation Of Some New Banana Types (Musa Spp.), Hami̇de Gübbük, Mustafa Pekmezci̇

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Three newly selected superior banana types were used to study the effects of different cytokinin and auxins on shoot multiplication and rooting. Benzylaminopurine [(BAP) (5, 10, 20 and 30 µM)] and thidiazuron [(TDZ) (0.4, 1, 2 and 3 µM)] were tested alone and with 1 µM indoleacetic acid (IAA) for the propagation stage. We compared basal Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, active charcoal (5 g l^{-1}), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) for rooting. Shoot proliferation and elongation were significantly greater with TDZ than with BAP all 3 types. Furthermore, each cytokinin with IAA increased shoot proliferation and elongation …
