Meiotic studies in Musa L. have been hampered by: 1) time-consuming efforts required to find the correct stages of cell division; 2) rigidity of the microsporocyte cell wall that makes preparation of smears difficult; and 3) poor staining of prophase chromosomes. This study describes an improved ...

The genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of 29 East African highland banana (Musa spp.) cultivars and two outgroup taxa, M. acuminata Calcutta 4 and Agbagba were surveyed by RAPD analysis. A genetic similarity matrix was established based on the presence or absence of polymorphic ampl...

Genetic diversity and relationships were assessed in 28 accessions of Musa acuminata (AA) Colla and Musa balbisiana (BB) Colla, and some of their natural hybrids, using the amplified fragment length poly-morphisms (AFLP) technique. Fifteen AFLP +3 primer pairs produced 527 polymorphic bands among...

This study examined the potential of somaclonal variation for the improvement of plantain. Approximately 500 somaclones each of ‘Agbagba’ (False Horn plantain) and ‘Bise Egome’ (French plantain) were field evaluated for their agronomic performance and response to the black Sigatoka disease. The m...

Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.(LAM)) is one of the most important food crops in developing countries, including South Africa. Most sweetpotato varieties in South Africa are cream or white fleshed and lack the essential beta-carotene of the orange-fleshed varieties. To develop new varieties with ...

Banana is an important food and cash crop in Uganda. The crop displays wide diversity but the genetic relationship between and withing cultivars is largely unknown. A study was conducted to assess genetic relationships among 'Sukali Ndizi' clones collected from 16 different localities in Uganda ...

Inheritance of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) was examined in 41 F1 progeny obtained from the following interspecific Bromus crosses: Bromus arvensis (2n = 14) × B. inermis (2n = 4x = 28); B. arvensis × B. inermis (2n = 8x = 56); B. arvensis × B. erectus (2n = 6x = 42); B. arvensis × B. erectus (2n = 8x...

The majority of edible bananas (Musa L.) are triploid (2n = 3x = 33) cultivars known as dessert, plantain, or cooking bananas with predominant AAA, AAB, and ABB genomes, justifying the aim of breeding programs to develop improved hybrids of the different utilization classes in the triploid backgr...
