Sequencing and analysing of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, the first plant kingdom genome to be unraveled, will always remain a scientific landmark. International initiatives to sequence rice, the most important cereal in Asia, are underway. However as functional information piles up in Arabido...
Bunch weight increase is one of the major objectives of banana improvement programs, but little is known about the loci controlling bunch weight and its component traits. Here we report for the first time some genomic loci associated with bunch weight and its component traits in banana as reveale...
Thriteen years after the 1st international workshop on Sigatoka diseases of Banana held in San José, Costa Rica, in March 1989, the present proceedings offer an overview of the current situation regarding Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases at the global level.
Despite considerable efforts of Musa improvement programmes, banana and plantain production still depends upon a limited number of landraces selected by man from the natural germplasm. Inability to replace land-races by cultivars obtained through cross-breeding creates the increased risk of epide...
Secondary triploids were produced by crossing primary tetraploids with selected diploid partners and the parthenocarpic banana (Galeo). Comparisons between secondary tetraploids and secondary triploids showed that the secondary tetraploids generally had lower yields than secondary triploids. The ...
Leaf age effects on the leaf conductance to water vapour diffusion of the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces were measured in the morning and in the afternoon on 17 different plantain and banana (Musa spp.) genotypes. The irradiance levels increased three-fold while leaf to air vapour pressure def...
The triploid nature of plantain and its pattern of inheritance should have represented a challenge and an incentive for geneticists. However, few genetic and cytological investigations have been done in Musa spp. Both banana and plantain have been ignored and neglected as material for basic genet...
Diploid cultivated species, haploids derived from tetraploid cultivars, and their wildSolanum relatives were used to generate various diploid potato genetic stocks. These stocks have significant value in potato breeding because: 1) genetic diversity in the potato population can be kept variable w...
