Major diseases, including Fusarium wilt tropical race 4, threaten banana production systems worldwide. New sources of genetic resistance are considered necessary in the fight against such diseases. The triangular region of Indonesia taking in Sulawesi, the Maluku Islands and Lesser Sunda Islands ...

Trait variation and genetic diversity in a banana genomic selection training population
Bananas (Musa spp.) are one of the main fruit crops grown worldwide. With the annual production reaching 144 million tons, their production represents an important contribution to the economies of many countries in Asia, Africa, Latin-America and Pacific Islands. Most importantly, bananas are a s...

A simple and robust approach for genotyping in Musaceae
Musa spp (bananas and plantains) constitute a hybrid-polyploid complex and are classified according to different genome compositions such as AA, BB, AB, AAA, AAB, ABB, AAAA, ABBB, AAAB and AABB. Knowledge of ploidy and exact genome compositions of the parental material is essential for Musa breed...

Ploidy and genome composition of Musa germplasm at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
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...
