Abstract

Both biotic and abiotic stressors are the main factors limiting banana output. Research on biotic stressors in bananas has received enough attention globally, whereas abiotic stressors receive less attention. Water availability, salinity, and a wide variety of temperatures are the main problems that must be resolved to maintain banana farming in the twenty-first century. Samples were introduced with water, salt and heat stresses in invitro condition. Under different stress and concentration different results were obtained as follows, for heat stress 45°C showed the optimal growth, for salinity stress 100mM NaCl concentration have shown the most growth and for water concentration at 30 g/L PEG best growth was observed. The study will be helpful in providing knowledge and information on studies related to abiotic stresses on horticultural and different crops. This study will be helpful in production of GMOs of banana and different species challenging abiotic stresses as well as in germplasm conservation. Looking at the current scenario of global warming introducing different types of abiotic stresses this study will be helpful in production of such crops.

Keywords: : Banana, abiotic stresses, germplasm conservation, survival rate, invitro Propagation, PEG, NaCl
