Banana Micropropagation Medium has been developed for the in vitro propagation of Musa species, family Musaceae. The formulation is a nutrient blend of inorganic salts, amino acid and vitamins. Banana Micropropagation Medium provides all the essential macroelements and microelements. Potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate serve as sources of nitrate and helps in organogenesis. This mixture of cation and anion is responsible for maintaining pH of the medium. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate serves as a source of phosphate. Microelements like Boron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Iron, Copper, Cobalt and Zinc enhance metabolism in plants. Thiamine, inositol, pyridoxine and nicotinic acid act as enzymatic cofactors in universal pathways including glycolysis and TCA cycle along with primary and secondary metabolism in the plants. Glycine serves as a source of amino acid. The product is plant tissue culture tested but it is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure the suitability of the medium for individual species.
Application: For the in Vitro Propagation of Musa Species, Family Musaceae. The Formulation is a Nutrient Blend of Inorganic Salts, Amino Acid and Vitamins
