“…The increase in commercial demand worldwide creates the opportunity for this species to be studied and introduced for industrial micropropagation [25] and, furthermore, to be considered one of the most valuable indoor ornamental plants in the world [26]. Moreover, today, it is known that syngonium is also a source of valuable phenolic compounds with different potential uses in medicine [27][28][29].…”

Syngonium podophyllum Schott. cv. ‘White Butterfly’ is recognized as a valuable ornamental plant, and today it is also an important plant species of medicinal interest due to its high contents of phenolic compounds. The purpose of this article is to review the main scientific publications from our laboratory with regard to new scientific achievements dealing with Syngonium species or topics of interest, such as callus formation and further de novo shoot regeneration. The principles and stages necessary to start an industrial-level micropropagation protocol are discussed based on our experience. Different media compositions induced different morphogenetic responses inside the callus—particularly those related to the development of xylematic elements in the organogenetic areas, such as those for rooting, protocorms, and de novo shoot formation. The re-evaluation of old histological images revealed for the first time that xylematic elements are constantly closely positioned to all organogenetic centers, and that their development is closely dependent on the composition of the culture medium. Separate protocorms can be identified only when xylematic tracheary elements are well developed and closely connected to them. The formation of protocorms is strongly dependent on the mineral composition of the culture medium and the balance of plant growth regulators.

India is a major leading global producer of bananas and plantains, which is an essential staple source of food to fulfill the carbohydrates and micronutrients requirement. Successive increased productivity and significantly expanded cultivation areas are driven by awareness of their nutritional value, economic potential, and serving export opportunities. Tissue culture has become crucial in meeting the high demand for quality planting material, with private companies playing a key role in crop improvement. However, challenges persist, including farmer reluctance to adopt tissue-cultured plantlets and concerns over genetic fidelity, quality, and disease resistance. The industry's underdevelopment in certain regions further exacerbates the gap, with over 2000 million plantlets needed annually. Addressing this requires strategic marketing policies to reduce post-hardening losses and ensure timely availability of certified plantlets. Additionally, tissue culture techniques like micropropagation offer solutions to microbial pathogen threats, enhancing banana cultivation with increase in yield production. Therefore, economic losses face by farmers can be easily addressed by incorporating tissue culture approaches such as micropropagation. In the present study, authors collected the data from various stockholders and companies to understand the challenges, production and demands to meet the population in the current year. This study highlights the need for collaboration between industry stakeholders and farmers to improve production and ensure a sustainable banana supply.
