Technology Details

• In-vitro bio-induction of host plant tolerance is a first kind of its approach in tissue culture towards production of tolerant disease free planting material through bio-fortification of plantlets with bio-immunizing compounds.

• The technology of bio-immunization for producing Fusarium wilt tolerant banana plantlets was tested for its bio-efficacy through pot culture experiments where the immuno treated plantlets exhibited a disease index of 0.24 compared with the FOC TR-4 treated control that showed 3.75 signifying the host induced tolerance through changing the tissue culture protocol.
