Many banana cultivars are triploid interspecific hybrids between M. acuminata (Genome A, 2n=22) and M. balbisiana (Genome B, 2n=22). They included the important group of Plantain cooking bananas classified as AAB that account for almost 20% of the bananas produced worldwide. Previous molecular an...

Large-scale genetic and phenotypic characterization of germplasm collections has the great potential to change the way scientists deal with genetic resources. Users of genebanks should be in a position to select germplasm material based on a combination of passport, genotypic and phenotypic infor...

Extending Tripal to manage banana genetic resource information
Drought stress is one of the major abiotic factors limiting banana (Musa) production. Even mild-drought conditions are responsible for considerable yield losses. We performed large-scale transcriptome sequencing using Illumina technology on root tissue of three triploid genotypes representing wel...

The study of gene families is an important field of comparative genomics, allowing, by the analysis of evolutionary history, to identify homology relationships, gene losses and to help in annotation transfers. The addition of metabolic information improves the identification of candidate genes by...

Evaluating crop biodiversity is a challenging task and needs to integrate knowledge from different levels. This overview paper offers ways to tackle this challenge, illustrated by the case for drought tolerance in banana. KU Leuven hosts the International Musa Germplasm Collection managed by Biov...

Mosaic genome structure and chromosome segregation in polyploid interspecific plantain bananas and derived breeding accessions
Banana (Musa) is one of the most important economic and staple crops in the world. The majority of edible cultivated banana species arises from two species of the Eumusa group, Musa acuminata (A genome) and Musa balbisiana(B genome). In order to assess the biochemical diversity that exists in our...

Banana is a fruit crop with a complex diversity pattern resulting from a complex domestication scheme. Due to the availability of plant genome sequences and to the accessibility of next-generation genotyping technologies, Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have been increasingly performed in ...
