Micropropagation of Banana: Reversion, Rooting, and Acclimatization of Hyperhydric Shoots

Abstract: Hyperhydricity is a physiological disorder impacting plant growth and multiplication and acclimatization of regenerated plantlets. We report the use of calcium nitrate for reversion and acclimatization of banana ‘Grand Naine’ hyperhydric shoots cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium containing agar or gellan. Although 100% rooting of hyperhydric shoots occurred at all concentrations of calcium nitrate, only 50% rooting was recorded in the absence of calcium nitrate. Electrolyte leakage decreased signif… Show more

“…These ROS have the ability to damage the nucleic acids, cause the denaturation of proteins and lipids, and, ultimately, the death of the cells [ 5 ]. Many studies confirmed the increase in EL due to stresses on banana plants such as salinity, drought stress [ 41 ], and the stress of copper sulphate as presented in the current study, whereas other studies reported that EL decreased due to calcium nitrate (0.5 to 1.0 g L –1 ) in banana plantlets [ 42 ].…”

“…The stress of copper sulphate was also reported by some studies using different concentrations of up to 100 µM [ 17 ], and up to 8 mg L −1 [ 25 ]. The previous trend was not common for some other elements like calcium and silicon, which increased the chlorophyll content in banana plantlets when added at certain concentrations, such as with 0.5 g L −1 of calcium nitrate [ 42 ] and 1 g L −1 in the form of CaSiO 3 [ 43 ].…”

“…Since 1982, Pleioblastus pygmaeus has been one of the oldest species at the Bamboo Garden of Nanjing Forestry University in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. In the pre-treatment stage, 10 mm long nodal explants were cultured in a MS medium [ 37 , 38 ]. Hence, the bamboo shoots were initially formed and grown in the MS medium containing 0.6 mL kinetin (KT), 8–12 g L −1 agar, and 28 g L −1 sucrose.…”

“…There are two strategies that could be applied to control hyperhydricity: preventing the incidence of hyperhydricity, and the reversion of hyperhydric plantlets to their normal appearance. The majority of the previous literature focused on the prevention the occurrence of hyperhydricity in advance, while a few studies reported the reversion of hyperhydric shoots to their normal growth in order to improve the performance of in vitro propagation of some species, including the banana plant [ 19 ]; Agave sisalana Perr. [ 20 ]; and Dianthus chinensis L. [ 17 , 21 ].…”
