Genetic stability of three economically important micropropagated banana (Musa spp.) cultivars of lower Indo-Gangetic plains, as assessed by RAPD and ISSR markers (2006, methodology): “Explants were prepared from shoot tips tissue blocks according to Wong (1986) and the apical meristem slices were transferred to banana shoot”
Optimization of plantain (Musa AAB) micropropagation by temporary immersion system (2005, background): “Results on micropropagation rates vary a lot among cultivars and high concentrations of cytokinins are often used (Jarret et al., 1985; Wong, 1986; Bhagyalakshmi and Narendra, 1995; Hirimburegama and Gamage, 1997; Arinaitwe et al., 2000).”
In Vitro Propagation of Some New Banana Types (Musa spp.) (2004, background): “For example, Wong (1986) stated that when 11.1 µM BAP is supplemented in the medium, each of the explants produces an average of 2.4 shoots, while increasing the BAP concentration to 22.2 µM and 44.4 µM results in 2.6 and 4.3 shoots per explant respectively.”
The role of topolins in micropropagation and somaclonal variation of banana cultivars ‘Williams’ and ‘Grand Naine’ (Musa spp. AAA) (2008, background): “1983), higher concentrations generally inhibited shoot multiplication ( Wong 1986; Vuylsteke 1998 and references therein).”
