Abstract

Banana is one of the world's most important fruit crop. From a nutritional perspective, bananas are an excellent opportunity to diversify staple foods in Indonesia. An increase in the human population will increase the need for food. The application of biotechnology is a solution to facing the challenges and threats of the world food crisis, including Indonesia. Therefore, using a propagation method to produce seedlings quickly and on a large scale and to make diseasefree seeds through tissue culture techniques is necessary.
