Agriculture and modern biotechnology are increasingly becoming interdependent, and
many new techniques have brought new opportunities for enhancing production and …

Cryopreservation is the ultimate method to preserve large collections of vegetatively
propagated plant species, like banana, for the long term. Two cryopreservation protocols, ie …

Since most banana landraces (Musa spp.) do not produce seed and are vegetatively
propagated, germplasm must be maintained clonally. Therefore field and in vitro collections …

Conservation of banana diversity is imperative as anthropogenic activities coupled with
threats of climate change are causing fast depletion. Cryopreservation, using in vitro-derived …

The germplasm of banana is diverse and the cultivar'Ambul-Nadee'(Musa acuminate spp.
AAB) is one of the most popular among Sri Lankans and can be grown in most agro …

The world's largest banana collection (1141 accessions) is stored at the International Musa
germplasm collection at the INIBAP (International Network for the Improvement of Banana …

To establish an improved protocol for the cryopreservation of banana (Musa spp.), a fast-
freeze/fast-thaw method was applied and compared to three existing cryogenic procedures …

A simple cryopreservation method is described for proliferating meristem cultures of banana
(Musa spp.). It relies on a 2-week preculture on media containing 0.4 M sucrose followed by …

In vitro conservation is suitable for vegetatively propagated crops, including banana to avoid
genetic erosion of germplasms. This study aimed to identify the response of banana …

A vitrification protocol for cryopreservation of ECSs of banana cultivars was investigated.
ECSs of 3 banana cultivars, Baxijiao, Beida Aijiao and Yueyoukang 1, were successfully …
