Abstract
Continuous subculturing of regenerated shoot initials of banana cv. Nendran was carried out at
two-week interval to assess the variation induced due to repeated subculturing. It was found that the number
of shoots produced per culture varied in different subcultures. Chromosome counts made at the root tips of
Ihe plaatlets from ten subcultures indicated that all the plants were triploids (2n = 33). However, the
plantlets from the different subcultures varied significantly with respect to the rate of growth in height and
leaf area
