Item Study on The Response of Different Cytokinins in Micropropagation of Kolikuttu (Silk) Banana (Musa Spp.)(Uva Wellassa University of Srilanka, 2011) Rajapakshe, M.M.S.; Kaliyadasa, P.E.; Iroshini, R.N.Note: See the PDF Version Kolikuttu is one of the most preferred banana varieties. But the planting materials are less available to the farmers and are usually limited to dry-zone. Therefore, the most appropriate option is to multiply Kolikuttu banana plantlets by macro propagation using tissue culture techniques. However, Kolikuttu banana shows least responses in multiplication under in-vitro conditions. In concern with the huge demand for Kolikuttu banana plantlets it is of immense importance to identify the suitable protocol to increase the multiplication rate of Kolikuttu banana under in-vitro conditions. Shoot multiplication depends on the type and level of cytokynin used in the medium, therefore this research study was focused to identify the most suitable type of cytokinin and its concentrations to enhance the multiplication rate of silk banana.
