Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo constitutes an area where the East African Highland bananas (Musa-AAA-EA) and plantains (Musa-AAB) meet. However, Musa diversity in this region has never been characterized nor represented in national or international collections, yet increasing human activiti...

The relative contribution of ploidy status and genome composition to the variability of root traits in Musa was studied in 18 genotypes (from 5 genomic groups and 3 ploidy levels) at Onne, Nigeria. There was a significant effect of ploidy level on the different characteristics, except for root dr...

The root system development of 11 genotypes from six diverse Musa groups was studied in detail at IITA High Rainfall Station (Onne, southeastern Nigeria). Plantain hybrids (TMPx 548-9, TMPx 1658-4) were compared with their maternal French plantain landrace (Obino l' Ewai) and their paternal diplo...
