Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of Musa sp. Cultured in Temporary Immersion Bioreactor.

ABSTRACT: The genus Musa sp. contains commercially important fleshy fruit-producing plants, including plantains and bananas, with a strong potential for providing food security and sources of revenue to farmers. Concerns with the quality of vegetative tissues along with the possibility of the transmission of phytopathogens makes the availability of healthy plantlets limited for farmers. Micropropagation of plantains offers an alternative to producing large numbers of plantlets. However, conventional methods of micropropagation have high production costs and are labor-intensive. Recently, the temporary immersion bioreactor (TIB) has emerged as an alternative to conventional micropropagation (CM) methods. Our work utilized SEM microscopy (scanning electron microscope) and molecular and biochemi
