Meta-Topolin (mT), a benzyladenine analog [N 6-(3-hydroxybenzylamino) purine], is a highly active cytokinin. Benzyladenine (BA) is the most widely used cytokinin in the micropropagation industry due to its effectiveness and affordability. The effect of the cytokinin (meta-Topolin) on micropropagation of banana cultivar Patakpura was studied and compared to BA (6-benzylaminopurine). In vitro cultures were sub-cultured on MS media containing BAP and m-T. Results obtained after six weeks of growth showed that there were statistically significant differences among the parameters analyzed for different treatments. Higher multiplication rates were recorded with cultures treated with m-T compared to BAP.
