Investigating the Copper Phytotoxicity on in-vitro Culture of Musa acuminata cv. ‘Bantala’ | Chapter 3 | Cutting-edge Research in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 13

The goal of this study was to see how different copper concentrations affected the growth and development of MUSA ACUMINATA cv. Bantala cultivated in vitro. Because it may exist in different oxidation states in vitro, copper (Cu) is a crucial transition metal that is involved in many physiological processes in plants. When compared to the control (0.1 M copper), the results demonstrated that 1.0 M copper promoted root induction, elongation, and shoot growth. Furthermore, greater levels of copper (100 M) have a toxic effect on banana leaves, causing stunted growth, curling leaves, and full root suppression. At 100 mM copper, copper treatment enhanced photosynthetic pigment content while decreasing carbohydrate and protein levels. This research will aid in the estimation of copper-tolerant plants for the phyoremediation effort.
