“…For the shoot multiplication of banana, various plant growth regulators (PGRs) such as abscisic acid, auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins are used (Table S1). Cytokinins such as BAP, zeatin, thiadizuron (TDZ), and kinetin (KN) are used for the growth of axillary buds, and shoot multiplication, while auxins such as indole acetic acid (IAA), indole butyric acid (IBA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) promote root development ( Gupta et al., 2020 ; Kaur et al., 2022 ). BAP is the most preferred cytokinin to enhance shoot multiplication in Musa spp.…”
