Asten, Piet J.A. vanLorenzen, J.H.Wairegi, L.W.I.Mukasa, D.Batte, M.Muchunguzi, P.Pillay, M.[IITA APEP banana project: technical report]IITA APEP banana project: technical report

Understanding user preferred traits is important for the successful development and adoption of improved banana cultivars. This article provides an overview of different banana products, cultivars used to make those products and the preferred characteristics as reported by men and women farmers i...

The East African highland bananas ‘Matooke’ (Musa spp.) are unique interms of utilization, their taste and the cultural attachment to the people in the EastAfrica region. Research efforts have been directed towards improving these bananasfor disease resistance, pest resistance and higher yields, ...


Nowankunda, K.Barekye Erima, R.Batte, M.Tushemereirwe, W.K.Ssali, R.T.[Onfarm participatory evaluation of East African highland banana Matooke hybrids (Musa spp.)]Onfarm participatory evaluation of East African highland banana Matooke hybrids (Musa spp.)

East African highland bananas (AAA, EAHB) form over 80% of the banana cultivars in the Great Lakes region and are a source of food and income for over 40 million in the region. The production of these bananas has been constrained by pests, diseases, soil fertility decline and most recently climat...


Kubiriba, J.Ssali, R.T.Barekye, A.Akankwasa, K.Tushemereirwe, W.K.Batte, M.Karamura, E.B.Karamura, D.[The performance of East African highland bananas released in farmers' fields and the need for their further improvement]The performance of East African highland bananas released in farmers' fields and the need for their further improvement

Improving the efficiency of selection in conventional crossbreeding is a major priority in banana (Musa spp.) breeding. Routine application of classical marker assisted selection (MAS) is lagging in banana due to limitations in MAS tools. Genomic selection (GS) based on genomic prediction models ...


Nyine, M.Uwimana, B.Blavet, N.Hřibová, E.Vanrespaille, H.Batte, M.Akech, V.Brown, A.Lorenzen, J.H.Swennen, R.L.Doležel, Jaroslav[Genomic prediction in a multiploid crop: genotype by environment interaction and allele dosage effects on predictive ability in banana]Genomic prediction in a multiploid crop: genotype by environment interaction and allele dosage effects on predictive ability in banana

Banana (Musa spp.) is an important crop in the African Great Lakes region in terms of income and food security, with the highest per capita consumption worldwide. Pests, diseases and climate change hamper sustainable production of bananas. New breeding tools with increased crossbreeding efficienc...

The polyploidy nature of banana is a limiting factor in the implementation of strategies such as marker assisted selection (MAS) or genome wide association mapping (GWAS). The triploid nature of cultivated varieties complicates conventional breeding strategies and improved varieties can take up t...

Morphological traits are commonly used for characterizing plant genetic resources. Germplasm characterization should be based on distinctly identifiable, stable and heritable traits that are expressed consistently and are easy to distinguish by the human eye. Characterization and documentation of...


Batte, M.Mukiibi, A.Swennen, R.L.Uwimana, B.Pocasangre, L.Hovmalm, H.P.Geleta, M.Ortiz, R.[Suitability of existing Musa morphological descriptors to characterize East African highland ‘matooke’ bananas]Suitability of existing Musa morphological descriptors to characterize East African highland ‘matooke’ bananas

East African highland bananas (EAHB) were regarded as sterile. Their screening for female fertility with “Calcutta 4” as male parent revealed that 37 EAHB were fertile. This was the foundation for the establishment of the EAHB crossbreeding programs by the International Institute of Tropical Agri...
