Simulation of in vitro water deficit for selecting drought-tolerant banana genotypes

Abstract: -The objective of this work was to determine a method to simulate water stress in vitro to select drought-tolerant banana (Musa sp.) genotypes. The BRS Tropical and Prata Anã cultivars were grown in vitro in an MS liquid medium containing sucrose and benzylaminopurine (BAP), supplemented with different concentrations of polyethylene glycol (PEG) or sorbitol. The yield stability index of dry matter was evaluated. Cultivation for 30 days in a medium containing 15 g L -1 PEG or 36.4 g L -1 sorbitol is appropriate… Show more

“…(Manivannan et al, 2007;Hussain et al, 2019). The evaluation of osmoticstress tolerance in in vitro culture media containing PEG has been proposed as an alternative to field evaluations (Gopal and Iwama, 2007;Marssaro et al, 2017;Tang et al, 2019). However, PEG has not been used in the evaluation of grapevine rootstocks.…”

“…Estos resultados permiten conocer como los explantes pueden mantenerse hidratados bajos condiciones de escasa disponibilidad de agua, es así, que en cultivares de Musa spp. permitió identificar cultivares tolerantes al estrés hídrico (Marssaro et al, 2017;Moreno-Bermúdez et al, 2015).…”

“…Among banana improvement programs’ objectives are achieving cultivars resistant to abiotic stressors, such as salinity [ 8 , 9 ] and drought [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Another major challenge for the global production of Musaceae species is the development of cultivars resistant to biotic stressors, represented by their primary pests, the banana root borer ( Cosmopolites sordidus ) and the nematodes Meloidogyne spp., Pratylenchus coffeae , and Radopholus similis [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ], and disease-causing pathogens, including banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) [ 20 , 21 ], Xanthomonas vasicola pv.…”
