Inducing mutation and ascertaining lethal dosage of in vitro cultures of banana cv. Ney Poovan to ethyl methane sulfonate.

Abstract excerpt

In vitro mutation breeding in vegetatively propagated crops like banana offers a benefit in screening for beneficial variants in plant cells or cultured tissues. An attempt was made to induce mutants and determine the lethal dose, as it is the prerequisite to optimize the concentration and duration of the mutagen used to recover a larger population in mutation research. Shoot tip cultures were treated for 2 and...
