Cryopreservation of banana's cv Grand Naine in vitro rhizomes

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT The preservation of banana genetic material is usually performed through seedlings. However, most banana cultivars do not produce seed and are propagated vegetatively. Therefore, cryopreservation is a feasible technique that allows the preservation of banana genotypes indefinitely. For the succe...
