A simple and efficient protocol developed for plantlet regeneration through in vitro somatic embryogenesis in three ornamental bananas. In vitro propagation, especially somatic embryogenesis has been a method of choice to obtain homogenous planting material in ornamental bananas. In the present investigation, true-to-type plants via somatic embryogenesis were achieved in three ornamental bananas viz. Musa laterita, Musa beccarii and Musa velutina using immature male flower bud as explants. The evaluation was carried out at two stages of somatic embryogenesis, induction, and maturation of somatic embryos. Embryogenic calli desiccated up to 2 h at 25 ± 1 °C resulted in higher frequencies of embryo induction and maturation compared to non-desiccated embryos. The plantlets generated were hardened, and the genetic fidelity of the plantlets was confirmed using SRAP markers. It was observed that banana plants derived via somatic embryogenesis displayed normal phenotype as that of plants grown from a single elite mother plant. In the present study, the successful establishment of plants from male flower bud was achieved in 6 to 7 months which is a relatively short duration compared to other reports involving different species of banana. The protocol developed could be useful for large-scale micropropagation studies in these commercially important ornamental bananas.
