Musaceae plants are monocotyledons, perennial robust herbs with rhizomes, mainly distributed in tropical Asia and Africa, with the largest number of species in India from Southeast Asia to Thailand, followed by Indonesia.
Musaceae plants are often propagated by division, which has a low reproduction coefficient, and although some species have seeds, most of them have a low germination rate and cannot form a large and stable long-term colony or only a small colony, or even a colony in the natural environment, and only a few plants can grow sporadically, so it is difficult to rely on natural seeds for large-scale propagation. The tissue culture service of Musaceae plants provided by Lifeasible can accelerate their propagation, which is an effective way to rapidly propagate good and rare species.

* The list of species that can be tissue cultured is constantly being updated, so please stay tuned.
Lifeasible uses immature male flowers and buds of Musaceae plants as the explant material to induce guaiac tissues and perform rapid propagation. However, traditional tissue culture requires a fully enclosed sterile environment provided by the autoclaving and ultra-clean bench, which is demanding in terms of operation techniques and culture environment, and requires high quality of practitioners, and the cost of the nursery is also affected.
Therefore, Lifeasible introduced the open in tissue culture model in Musaceae plant tissue culture. We have improved the technical process of traditional Musaceae plant tissue culture seedling production, including the simplification and optimization of cutting methods, culture conditions, culture media, culture conditions (the influence of light and temperature), etc., screened the most suitable open tissue culture of Musaceae plants for inhibition agents and hormone formulations, and established the open tissue culture system of Musaceae plants to achieve the reduction of The aim is to reduce the production cost of tissue culture seedlings and improve the proliferation coefficient and rooting rate of Musaceae tissue culture seedlings.
