• Abstract : An experiment was carried out in the laboratories of Date palm micropropagation Unit at the College of Agriculture, University of Kufa during the period from August 2017 to June 2018 to study the impact of plant growth regulators and light quality on propagate banana (Musa spp.) CV. Dwarf Cavendish (using plant tissue culture technique, BAP (3,4,5,6mg.L-1) and TDZ ( 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mg.L-1) alone or incombination with NAA ( 0.5, 1, 1.5mg.L-1) and light sources, Florescent white and LED light ( 18 red :2 blue), on shoot multiplication was studied. Shoot cultured on MS with 0.1 TDZ + 1.5 NAA under LED light gave highest values for shoot number and length, chlorophyll and carotin contents ( 9.25 shoot, 4.12 cm, 50.18 mg/100g FW and 5.070 mg/100g FW ) respectivity,but shoot on MS with 0.2 TDZ + 1.5 mg NAA under LED light gave highe shoot fresh and dry weight and shoot containt of carbohydrate which gave 20.28 g,0.6925 g and 2.917 respectivty.
