Report from the banana collecting mission to Samoa from July 22nd to August 2nd, 2019
East African highland bananas (EAHBs) are staple food crop in Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and other countries in the African Great Lakes region. Even though several morphologically different types exist, all EAHBs are triploid and display minimal genetic variation. To provide more insights into th...

A platform for efficient genotyping in Musa using microsatellite markers
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 ...

Collecting banana diversity in eastern Indonesia
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...

Banana is a fruit crop with a complex diversity pattern resulting from a complex domestication scheme. Due to the availability of plant genome sequences and to the accessibility of next-generation genotyping technologies, Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have been increasingly performed in ...

One hundred and six diploids to unravel the genetics of traits in banana: a panel for genome-wide association study and its application to the seedless phenotype
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...
