Ken Shepherd has not only devoted his life to studying bananas, but has focused on an area much neglected by other researchers, Musa cytology. The publishing of this book is especially timely given th...
The objective of the symposium was to present the state of the art knowledge on the functioning of the Musa root system and its interrelationships with micro-organisms and pests, and to propose ways to improve root health. The papers present work done on cells as well as whole plants, and short-t...
