The genomic constitutions of some Musa L. lines (bananas, plantains and artificial hybrids) were identified using molecular cytogenetic techniques. Double target in situ DNA:DNA hybridization to chromosome spreads using as probes, total genomic DNA isolated from diploid Musa lines of known AA (la...

Identification of the genomic constitution of Musa L. lines (bananas, plantains and hybrids) using molecular cytogenetics
The triploid plantain landrace Obino l Ewai (Musa spp., AAB genome) has been crossed with a wild diploid banana (M. acuminata subsp. burmannica var. Calcutta 4 , AA genome) to generate full-sib diploid and tetraploid hybrids combining good agronomic performance and disease resistance. Microsatell...

VNTRbased diversity analysis of 2x and 4x fullsib Musa hybrids
Traditional approaches to the breeding of Musa crops are highly demanding in terms of both time and space. However, the application of molecular genetic analysis may dramatically improve breeding efficiency. The objectives of the present study were to compare pedigree and DNA marker methods of es...

Comparison of DNA marker and pedigree-based methods of genetic analysis of plantain and banana (Musa spp.) clones; I: estimation of genetic relationships
Pedigree and DNA marker-based methods were used to predict the performance of triploid progeny from tetraploid-diploid crosses, based on parental heterozygosity, genetic relatedness, and expected contribution to their progeny. There was no significant correlation between parental and progeny perf...
