Nyine, MosesUwimana, BrigitteSwennen, RonyBatte, MichaelBrown, A.Christelova, PavlaHribova, E.Lorenzen, JimDoležel, Jaroslav[Trait variation in a banana training population for genomic selection.]Trait variation in a banana training population for genomic selection.

Bunch weight increase is one of the major objectives of banana improvement programs, but little is known about the loci controlling bunch weight and its component traits. Here we report for the first time some genomic loci associated with bunch weight and its component traits in banana as reveale...


Nyine, M.Uwimana, B.Akech, V.Brown, A.Ortiz, R.Doležel, JaroslavLorenzen, J.Swennen, R.[Association genetics of bunch weight and its component traits in East African highland banana (Musa spp. AAA group).]Association genetics of bunch weight and its component traits in East African highland banana (Musa spp. AAA group).

Bananas (Musa spp.) are consumed worldwide as dessert and cooking types. Edible banana varieties are for the most part seedless and sterile and therefore vegetatively propagated. This confers difficulties for breeding approaches against pressing biotic and abiotic threats and for the nutritional ...


Drapal, Margitde Carvalho, E.B.Rouard, M.Amah, D.Sardos, J.Houwe, I. van denBrown, A.Roux, N.Swennen, R.Fraser, Paul D.[Metabolite profiling characterises chemotypes of Musa diploids and triploids at juvenile and preflowering growth stages]Metabolite profiling characterises chemotypes of Musa diploids and triploids at juvenile and preflowering growth stages

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is one of the most prevalent micronutrient deficiencies that disproportionately affects low income populations in developing countries. Traditional breeding and modern biotechnology have significant potential to enhance micronutrient bioavailability in crops through bio...


Amah, D.Biljon, A. vanBrown, A.Perkins-Veazie, P.Swennen, R.Labuschagne, M.T.[Recent advances in banana (Musa spp.) biofortification to alleviate vitamin A deficiency]Recent advances in banana (Musa spp.) biofortification to alleviate vitamin A deficiency

Due to the absence of accurate pedigree information, it has not been possible to implement genetic evaluations for crossbred cattle in African small-holder systems. Genomic selection techniques that do not rely on pedigree information could, therefore, be a useful alternative. The objective of th...


Brown, A.Ojango, Julie M.K.Gibson, John P.Coffey, M.Okeyo Mwai, AllyMrode, Raphael A.[Short communication: Genomic selection in a crossbred cattle population using data from the Dairy Genetics East Africa Project]Short communication: Genomic selection in a crossbred cattle population using data from the Dairy Genetics East Africa Project

Improving the efficiency of selection in conventional crossbreeding is a major priority in banana (Musa spp.) breeding. Routine application of classical marker assisted selection (MAS) is lagging in banana due to limitations in MAS tools. Genomic selection (GS) based on genomic prediction models ...


Nyine, M.Uwimana, B.Blavet, N.Hřibová, E.Vanrespaille, H.Batte, M.Akech, V.Brown, A.Lorenzen, J.H.Swennen, R.L.Doležel, Jaroslav[Genomic prediction in a multiploid crop: genotype by environment interaction and allele dosage effects on predictive ability in banana]Genomic prediction in a multiploid crop: genotype by environment interaction and allele dosage effects on predictive ability in banana

Banana (Musa spp.) is an important crop in the African Great Lakes region in terms of income and food security, with the highest per capita consumption worldwide. Pests, diseases and climate change hamper sustainable production of bananas. New breeding tools with increased crossbreeding efficienc...


Nyine, M.Uwimana, B.Swennen, R.L.Batte, M.Brown, A.Christelova, P.Hribova, E.Lorenzen, J.H.Doležel, Jaroslav[Trait variation and genetic diversity in a banana genomic selection training population]Trait variation and genetic diversity in a banana genomic selection training population

Bananas and plantains are one of the most important crops in the world, yet very few hybrids are cultivated. Bananas face considerable pressure from multiple biotic and abiotic stresses, but its genetic improvement is impeded by constraints on seed set due to multiple physiological and reproducti...


Brown, A.Tumuhimbise, R.Amah, D.Uwimana, B.Nyine, M.Mduma, H.Talengera, D.Karamura, D.Kuriba, J.Swennen, R.L.[Bananas and Plantains (Musa spp.)]Bananas and Plantains (Musa spp.)

The polyploidy nature of banana is a limiting factor in the implementation of strategies such as marker assisted selection (MAS) or genome wide association mapping (GWAS). The triploid nature of cultivated varieties complicates conventional breeding strategies and improved varieties can take up t...


Nyine, M.Uwimana, B.Swennen, R.L.Batte, M.Brown, A.Hribova, E.Doležel, Jaroslav[Genomic breeding approaches for East African bananas]Genomic breeding approaches for East African bananas

Banana and plantain (Musa spp.) are important food crops in tropical and subtropical regions of the world where they generate millions of dollars annually to both subsistence farmers and exporters. Since 1902, Pseudocercospora banana pathogens, Pseudocercospora fijiensis, P. musae and P. eumusae,...


Alakonya, A.E.Kimunye, J.Mahuku, George S.Amah, D.Uwimana, B.Brown, A.Swennen, R.L.[Progress in understanding Pseudocercospora banana pathogens and the development of resistant Musa germplasm]Progress in understanding Pseudocercospora banana pathogens and the development of resistant Musa germplasm
