The present study was designed to carry out to evaluate the histochemical changes during the development of somatic embryos from embryogenic callus of male flower buds of banana cv. Neypoovan. The callus of male flower buds was taken at different stages of growth intervals to analyze the parameters for induction of embryogenesis. Histological sections were used for comparison of the histochemical changes occurring during the development of somatic embryos from embryogenic callus of male flower buds of banana cv. Neypoovan. In conclusion, our study findings revealed that the presence of higher amounts of biomolecular substances such as insoluble polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids in embryogenic calli and somatic embryos of male flower buds of banana cv. Neypoovan. Furthermore, our study revealed that somatic embryos in banana cv. Neypoovan were formed but failed to germinate into plantlets.
