STUDIES ON DIRECT INDUCTION OF CLUSTERSFROM INFLORESCENCE TISSUE OF BANANA

Comparing with sucker tissue,the effect of inflorescence tissue from banana,Var.Taiwan No.8, as explant on the result of tissus culture via cluster formation wasstudied. Two kinds of explants were able to develop clusters under the same condi-tion,but differences were observed in the induction frequency and multiplication in-dex. However,rooting transplanting of them were found almost the same.
