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 produce
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
