Abstract

Banana (Musa sp) plants regenerated from in vitro culture were employed to study varietal differences of 32P uptake. The results demonstrated that the selected varieties exhibited considerable variation for absorption, translocation and transport index of PO4 uptake. Use of tissue cultured derived plants can be efficiently utilised to analyse varietal differences in 32P uptake.
