Standardization of micropropagation techniques in guava (Psidium guajavaL.)

Influence of Culture Media and Explants on in vitro Regeneration Efficiency of Elite Guava Cultivars

“…India and Mexico is leading producer of guava (Usman et al, 2012) and in 2019, guava production was 3.345 million tonnes (NHB, 2017-18). Guava can be propagated by vegetative methods like shoot cutting, grafting, air layering though these methods are not suitable for producing large numbers of planting materials as these are tedious, laborious, time taking with limited plants production (Bisen et al, 2014;Singh et al, 2015;Rajkumar et al, 2016;Mousa et al, 2017). It shortens the supply of planting material to overcome growing demand of farmers.…”
