Abstract
The possibility of clonal propagation of banana through tissue culture was explored. Shoot tips isolated from the rhizomes were found to be suitable material for plantlet production in vitro. Excised shoot tips with the youngest leaves produced only one plantlet. However, shoot tips with several older sheathing leaf bases enclosing the axilary buds regenerated multiple plantlets. Individual shootlets, when separated and sub-cultured, produced a new crop of multiple shoots. The plantlets obtained from both types of explants have been successfully transplanted to soil and grown to maturity.
