Effect of NaCl on Root Proliferation of Musa Species through Tissue Culture
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Science and Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The present study was conducted to observe the morphological effect in saline condition through development of roots during rooting culture of Musa paradisiaca cv. Bantal. Various parameters including days of response, percentage of response, average numbers of roots, etc; were taken after root formation from shoots in Murashige & Skoog medium containing different concentration of Sodium Chloride (NaCl). It was observed that NaCl used in low concentration (100 mg/l) produce healthy and thick roots. But in case of higher concentration (500 mg/l) the formations of roots were thin, short and unhealthy whereas the proliferation of roots was also reduced.
