The objectives of this study are to investigate the effect of banana varieties, culture media and growth regulators on the callus induction from Musa anthers. The following is summary of the results: 1. Two types of calli, namely primary callus and secondary callus were induced from banana anther culture. Primary calli appeared about three to five weeks after culture. They occurred at a high frequency (upto 50%) as soft, yellowish white, friable cell masses which soon turned brown. Secondary calli were found at a low frequency (1-3%) four to five months after culture. These were small, solid and yellowish white cell mass of various shapes with higher potential of differentiation. 2. Among 8 Musa varieties tested, the frequency of primary callus formation were highest in diploid cultivars, Pisang Lilin (29.4 %) and Pisang Mas (14.4%), followed by tripoid (AAA) and tetraploid (AAAA) genotypes and in varieties containing the B genome (including Ney Poovan and Musa balbisiana) were the lowest. 3. In comparing different basic media, it was found that the effect on induction of primary callus in medium with basic salts of N6 and B5 was better than MS. The use of gelrite (0.2 %) instead of agar as solidifying agent gave better results in callus induction. 4. Addition of auxins to culture media could also increase the frequencies of primary and secondary callus formation. The frequencies of secondary callus in N6 medium with 2 mg/l picloram or dicamba were 3.5 and 3.3 %, respectively, and was higher than that of 2,4D (0.08 %) and NAA (0.0 %). Organogensis from calli was not observed in this study and requires further investigation. |
