Micropropagation of musa gracilis by using male inflorescence as explants

Male inflorescences have potential to be used as explants for rapid micropropagation of Musa sp. Explants which were grown using male inflorescence of Musa gracilis, were taken from Lojing Highland, Kelantan. Cultures were initiated by culturing small excised flower buds on modified MS media supplem...
