The impact of adding nanoparticles to the media to speed up the in vitro multiplication stage of banana explants

The goal of this study was to develop a new procedure for utilizing nanoparticles to accelerate the in vitro multiplication of banana plantlets.
During the multiplication stage, various 1 mg L^‑1 nanoparticle types (AgNPs, CNPs, and ZnNPs) were examined.
Banana shoot tips were used as explants, and they were cultivated on a proliferation medium with varying amounts of benzyl aminopurine (BAP). A completely randomized design was used in a factorial experiment with five replications.
After four weeks, observations were made on the number of roots, shoots, and leaves, as well as the number of days that each took to emerge.
The result showed that the addition of nanoparticles delayed the emergence of shoots, leaves, and roots relative to the control.
In comparison to the results of the combination treatment of nanoparticles with concentrations of 3.0 and 5.0 mg L^‑1 BAP, the shoot grew larger when the media were enriched with nanoparticles and 1.0 mg L^‑1BAP.
