Banana Tissue Culture
BANANA TISSUE CULTURE
INTRODUCTION

Plant Tissue Culture is culturing of any part of the plant in a specially defined growth media under aseptic laboratory condition in Petri dishes, test tubes or in any other suitable glass containers. The plant nutrient media consists of macro and micro salts, vitamins and desired levels of plant growth hormones. Depending upon the plant species genetic nature and with help of above supportive media various forms of callus/embryos/shoots/ roots or direct plantlets can be induced. Obtaining plants through the above techniques is called as regeneration. With the recent technology brake through it is now possible to obtain complete plants of many species through single cell culture. Banana plants produced from Tissue Culture are free from diseases at the time of supply and they give high yields since they are made from selected high yielding mother plants. If proper care is taken, as per instructions, they grow into strong healthy plants and give high yields of good quality fruits. Since they are produced under controlled laboratory conditions using selected nutrients, they usually give yields one or two month earlier than conventionally propagated plants.

    In the early days when the world was new, spirits and ghosts lurked everywhere. They lived in gloomy caves, they hid in anthills and tree trunks they frolicked in nooks and corners under the houses. In the dark, sometimes their tiny voices could be heard dimly, or their ghostly presence be felt. But they were never seen.…

    To begin the fast plants experiment, each group received the F1 generation seeds for their designated phenotypes. After receiving the seeds, the seeds were then planted into Styrofoam “quads” allowing the seeds to germinate. The seeds were then allowed to grow under a fluorescent light bank for 5 weeks. Throughout the growing of the seeds, each plant was continuously watered and adjusted the light bank to help the plant grow more efficiently. After letting the seeds germinate for approximately 14 days, after two or three flowers had opened, a bee stick was used to transfer pollen from one plant to another. Each group then used the bee stick again 2 and 4 days after the initial pollination. Once all of the transferring was complete, each unopened bud on the plants were pinched off. Approximately 21 days after pollination, the seeds were ready to be harvested. Each quad was removed from the watering tray and allowed to dry for 5 days. After the plants were dry, each group removed the dry seedpods from the plant. We then removed the seeds from the pod. To start the germination process, a moistened piece of filter paper was placed into a petri dish. 40 seeds were neatly placed into each petri dish until there were no seeds remaining. Once all the seeds were placed in the petri dish, the petri dishes were placed in a plastic bag and set to germinate for approximately 48 to 96 hours in the window at room temperatures.…

    Genetically modified Papayas started back in 1990 in Hawaii when the entire crop was infected with the ringspot virus, the entire papaya industry was in danger. More than 8 million papayas are sold globally and come from tropic and sub-tropic regions. Papayas are loved by many consumers, while others consider them to smell like feces and have a bitter taste. This paper will explain the importance of papayas, and why genetically modifying the papaya is worth all the controversy it have received over the years. I used several articles to compare my research with the story of DR. Gonslaves modified papaya, and will show cause as to why genetically modified papayas are important to the farmers, consumers, and to prevent many health diseases and conditions the U.S. suffers from.…

    Asexual Propagation is the process of using plant materials such as the stems, leaves, and roots to multiply the number of plants. These plants eventually grow to be a brand new plant that is genetically identical to the parent plant it came from. In several types of plants, asexual propagation is the fastest means of new plant growth. Asexual propagation is also a good way to maintain a plant species because they are genetically identical. In this process, adventitious roots are seen in the growing cycle. Adventitious roots are those that grow form parts of the plant that they normally would not grow from. The cuttings must do this in order to form a completely new plant. There are multiple methods of asexual propagation; some include cuttings, layering, division, and budding/grafting. This experiment is designed to look into the method of using cuttings for asexual propagation and the success of the plant parts. As this experiment goes on more herbaceous and succulent plants will root quicker than woody plants.…

    La Hacienda Musa

    • 1615 Words
    • 7 Pages

    La Hacienda Musa was a long way from Leuven, Belgium. But for Maria Keller, the transition was as natural as it could be. She had spent twenty years in Leuven studying banana genetics at the Catholic University of Leuven’s Laboratory of Tropical Crops, the world center of banana research. She had learned about the challenges the banana-growing industry faced from a variety of diseases, why bananas seemed to be especially susceptible, and how difficult it is to develop new strains of the world’s most popular fruit. But after two decades of study, Maria was ready for something new. She did her homework, packed her few possessions, and headed to her newly purchased banana plantation in Costa Rica. To say that La Hacienda Musa was already a banana plantation was overstating the case. In fact, Maria owned 100 hectares of previously cleared land on which bananas had never been grown. Because this plot was isolated from established banana-growing operations in Costa Rica, the land should be reasonably free from the most important and virulent of banana diseases, Black Sigatoka, a fungal leaf blight. The isolation, coupled with Maria’s expert knowledge of banana culture, and especially the new varieties she had brought with her from Belgium, suggested that she ought to be able to make a success of her new venture. The question that faced Maria at the moment was how much, if any, of her 100 hectares should be dedicated to organic bananas. There were good reasons to go organic: top-quality organic produce would command a premium, and her isolated location would be ideal for growing organic bananas. In 2007, Costa Rica had announced its intention to become the first fully carbon-neutral country. As part of its efforts to offset all Costa Rican carbon emissions, tourists and businesses would pay a voluntary “tax” that would be used to fund conservation, reforestation, and other enterprises that would help move the country toward carbon neutrality. Some of…

    In the Lab: Extracting DNA from Bananas, DNA was removed from bananas that had been blended with water in order to examine how DNA is seen from the naked eye. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, which is a nucleic acid that contains the sugar deoxyribose. DNA is made up of a series of monomers called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts: a deoxyribose molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. In addition, there are four kinds of nitrogenous bases in DNA. Two of the nitrogenous bases, adenine and guanine, belong to a group of compounds known as purines. The remaining two bases, cytosine and thymine, are known as pyrimidines. The actual DNA structure is seen as a double helix in which two strands are wound around each other. Each strand is made up of a chain of nucleotides. The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine. In 1944, a group of scientists led by Canadian biologist Oswald Avery performed an experiment that would determine which molecule in a heat-killed bacterium was most important for transformation to occur. Avery and the other scientists discovered that DNA is the nucleic acid that stores and transmits the genetic information from one generation of an organism to the next. Thus, DNA is present in all living organisms. It holds the instructions necessary for the organism to grow and function, and is passed on from generation to generation through heredity.…

    Many third world country farmers rely on their crops to provide them with food and a small income. The problem that has been becoming more evident is that these farmers must battle viruses, bacteria, fungi, and nematodes while caring for their crops. These pathogens cause great damage by wiping out whole generations of crops leaving the farmers unable to feed their families and no income. With all of these potential pathogens, rapid and inexpensive techniques that offer reliable resistance identification must be developed to assist breeders in their choices of what plants should be used to produce a resistant hybrid. Although there are various wild varieties of plants that are resistant to the different pathogens, these wild varieties have fruits that are usually too small and unrealistic for commercial use. So instead these wilds types are sources of resistant genes that can be introduced into plants that do produce fruits that are marketable. One such fruit that is being attacked by numerous pathogens is the tomato (genus Lycopersicon has 10 different species), and efforts are underway in many countries and by many commercial companies to breed new lines of tomatoes that incorporate resistance to many of these pathogens.…
