In our study we chose Anupam (genome AAB), one of the popular cultivars of banana (Musa sapientum,
Family: Musaceae) in Bangladesh. Locally it is also called Sabri or Malbhog. The plant is tall and bears bunch
with an average weight of 10 kg. A bunch contains 85-120 fingers, fruits are medium-sized, firm in texture,
sweet and tasty. The cultivar is widely grown in the north and western areas of Bangladesh. Objectives of our
study were to select the suitable media composition for callus induction through using organic additives and
activated charcoal.
