Africa accounts for 50 of all plantain produced in the world. These plantains are overwhelmingly import as a food crop for local consumption. Black sigatoka has now invaded Africa, thereby endangering this important food source. The long term solution lies in the creation of black sigatoka resist...

Bananas and plantains are both important staple foods and cash crops for millions of people. Bananas are large perennial herbs of the genus Musa. Cultivated bananas are primarily triploids (3x) derived from intraspecific and interspecific crosses of two diploid species Musa acuminata Colla (Ma.) ...

A clonal evaluation trial of llTA plantain hybrids for black Sigatoka (85, resistance was established in October 1990. The trial included the three tetraploid hybrids TMPx 5484. TMP" 548-9and TMP" 5974. and their non-treated and fungicide-treated female plantain parent Obino l'Ewa' (French planta...

Variety improvement of plantain and banana (Musa spp.) is based on genetic diversity, which provides the basis for selection gain. This paper reviews result obtained by the Plantain and Banana Improvement Programme (PBIP) of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in the development o...

IITA has increased its knowledge about major constraints across agro-ecological zones and gene pools for Musa production in Africa. The authors review the following different aspects: adding more desirable attributes to breeding populations; integration of host-plant resistance, enhanced utilizat...
