Direct organogenesis in vitro propagation of local balinese banana with thidiazuron

Abstract

Bali’s community needs for bananas are very high, but cannot be fulfilled from the production of bananas in Bali. The main problem for banana cultivation in Bali is the difficulty of getting seeds. Direct organogenesis is offered to overcome this problem. The objective of the research was to study direct organogenesis on in vitro propagation of local Balinese banana with Thidiazuron. The research was carried out at Tissue Culture Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University, Denpasar, Bali.
