D.  aClonal fidelity and variation in plantain (Musa AAB) regenerated from vegetative stem and floral Axis Tips in vitro.h[electronic resource]  c1993  aRecognition of a phenotypically distinct 'French-type' plantain (Musa AAB) designated 'Superplatano' (Superplantain) prompted evaluation of in vitro micropropagation as a means of generating sufficient numbers of plants for field evaluation in theree locations in Puerto Rico. A multi-faceted study designed to evaluate relationships between different aseptic culture procedures and morphological origins of primary explants was carried out. Vegetativebuds from various positions relative to the mother corm (defined by cardial points on the compass) and explantsfrom the male floral axis of 'Miricongo' (the 'False-Horn', or florally determinate type 'progenitor' of 'Superplatano'), and 'Superplatano' (a 'French-type') were used as starting materials.  abananas  aMusa  aphenotype  asomaclonal variation  atissue culture  aClonal multiplication  aPlatains1 aIRIZARRY, H.1 aCRONAUER-MITRA, S.S.1 aRIVERA, E.  tAnnals of botanygv. 71, p. 519-535, 1993.
