Development of two populations of wild banana (musa acuminata subsp. malaccensis and musa gracilis) from embryo culture technique

Musa acuminata and Musa gracilis are two wild bananas species that are native in Malaysia. The present study is conducted to develop clonal seed progenies from two different species of wild type bananas that is Musa acuminata subsp malaccensis and Musa gracilis from the embryo culture techniques. Th...
