AbstractCanna
, the solitary genus of the family Cannaceae and order Zingiberales, comprises of about 51 species of flowering plants. It is
a horticultural plant but its agricultural importance can’t be undervalued.
Canna
is a self pollinating plant and require outside
pollinator due to its typical flower structure. Propagation through seed germination is not considered reliable. In order to
pro
duce
genetically modified and improved varieties of
Canna
, various
in vitro
techniques had been studied. Thus the present study reflects
a comprehensive review on
in vitro
propagation of
Canna
species with special reference to some other members of Zingiberales.
