Description :
Banana is the most widely cultivate fruit crop in India. Development of a cultivar specific micropropagation protocol for production of in vitro virus free plantlets is essential. In the present investigation four cultivars of banana viz., Basrai, Grand naine, Ardhapuri and Srimanti were used for development of micropropagation protocol through shoot tip cultures. The response of Grand naine cultivar was maximum. Whole plant regeneration protocol was successfully developed for all four cultivars with a success rate of 92-97%.
