The Banana Micropropagation Project was the second project of the the Plant Biotech lab. With this, we aim to provide clean virus-free planting materials to farmers and also to mass produce economically important banana cultivars. There has been a need to produce banana seedlings for the Philippines' Food Security initiative as bananas are easy to grow and is sustainable. The project concentrates on the cultivars: Saba (Cardaba variety), Cavendish, and Lakatan, however, it aims to include other Philippine banana cultivars in its conservation efforts.The project provides seminar workshops, trainings, culture services, as well as seedlings for interested parties.
