This study investigated the utility of inoculation of in vitro plantlets in tubes and detached leaves as reliable and rapid assays for screening Musa genotypes against Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak. In the first part of the study, three types of inocula were eval...

Rapid screening of Musa species for resistance to black leaf streak using in vitro plantlets in tubes and detached leaves
Plantain and banana hybrid varieties that are resistant to black Sigatoka disease .(a leave disease reported to have caused between 30-50% yield loss in plantain across the wortd) were disseminated by IITA plantain improvement programme in three southern states of Nigeria. This study was designed...

Unlocking the profit potentials of an innovation: a case study of IITA hybrid plantains and bananas
Genetic enhancement of plantain (Musa spp. L., AAB group) has aimed at producing hybrids with high yield, short stature, early maturity, fast crop cycling, and disease resistance. Two tetraploid clones derived from the plantain landrace ‘Bobby Tannap’ (BT) and ‘Obino l’Ewai’ (OL) were crossed to ...

Heterotic responses of tetraploid and triploid plantain hybrids in southeast Nigeria
Banana ranks among the four most important crops in the developing world. A significant proportion of world production is also imported and consumed in developed nations. Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases caused by Mycosphaerella species are major threats to banana production. Breedin...
