Abstract

Highlights: [•] Globally, the importance of bananas for food security is well known and documented. [•] Use of the micropropagation technique helps to meet increasing demand for bananas. [•] High rate of somaclonal variants remain a major bottleneck during micropropagation. [•] The role of BA and topolins on genetic fidelity was compared at same concentration. [•] Some topolins could reduce genetic variability among micropropagated plantlets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Highlights: [•] A total of 47 endogenous cytokinin-forms grouped into 9 classes were quantified. [•] Tissue-cultured plants had more endogenous cytokinin levels than acclimatized plants. [•] 9-Glucosides were the major metabolites in tissue-cultured and acclimatized plants. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
