Abstract

There is real interest in micropropagation of banana under commercial conditions right now, and real uncertainty about exactly
where it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for micropropagation of banana under commercial
conditions, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely
settled and where researchers and regulators are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption
looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance
