The present study examines the application of in vitro slow growth methods for the preservation of native Musa varieties. Despite their ecological importance and genetic variety, these species frequently receive less attention compared to their farmed counterparts. The findings of this work offer significant contributions to our understanding of the efficacy of in vitro slow growth conservation. The study commences by highlighting the need of preserving indigenous Musa species, recognizing their ecological significance within local ecosystems and its potential use for future agricultural requirements. The preservation of these species is of utmost importance for global biodiversity due to multiple factors such as habitat loss, climate change, and disease threats. Conservation of plants were performed at different stages with different media. Best and suitable result achieved at rooting stage with half basal media for 6 months after it shows yellowing of leaves at 7–8 months and browning of leaves at 9–10 month, still the cultures are conserved after 10th month of slow growth minimal media conservation storage. The results of the research confirm the successful formation of in vitro cultures and the efficiency of slow growth conditions. The importance of regular maintenance and sub-culturing was demonstrated, highlighting their important role. The preservation of genetic variety was observed, while also acknowledging the variability specific to each species, hence highlighting the necessity for customized approaches to conservation. The study is in accordance with known principles and underscores the significance of continuous monitoring and adjustment of conservation techniques. The need of collaboration among diverse experts in the field is underscored as crucial for effectively tackling these difficulties and guaranteeing the enduring conservation of these unique plant resources. In conclusion, this study makes a valuable contribution to the preservation of native Musa varieties by presenting a dependable and efficient methodology utilizing in vitro slow growth techniques. The results of the study confirm the significance of protecting these species, not only due to their genetic variety but also in relation to the wider objectives of maintaining ecological equilibrium and promoting global sustainability. The present study establishes a fundamental basis for forthcoming research endeavors and conservation initiatives, ultimately propelling the advancement of biodiversity preservation on a global magnitude.

The present study examines the application of in vitro slow growth methods for the preservation of native Musa varieties. Despite their ecological importance and genetic variety, these species frequently receive less attention compared to their farmed counterparts. The findings of this work offer significant contributions to our understanding of the efficacy of in vitro slow growth conservation. The study commences by highlighting the need of preserving indigenous Musa species, recognizing their ecological significance within local ecosystems and its potential use for future agricultural requirements. The preservation of these species is of utmost importance for global biodiversity due to multiple factors such as habitat loss, climate change, and disease threats.
