Abstract: The present study was undertaken with the main aim to evaluate the histochemical changes during the development of somatic embryos from embryogenic callus of male flower buds of banana cv. Rasthali. The callus of male flower buds was taken at different stages of growth intervals to analyze the parameters for induction of embryogenesis. Embryogenic callus of banana cvs. At successive stages of development were used for the present study. 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. Rasthali. In conclusion, results on histochemical changes during somatic embryogenesis in Rasthali showed the presence of higher amounts of biomolecular substances such as insoluble polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids during different stages of embryo formation. This is necessary for the germination of somatic embryo into a plantlet. Localization of these macromolecules could be seen in matured embryos indicating, the importance of macromolecules for better embryo development.
