The triploid genome of plantain (Musa spp., AA group) has been considered intractable to genetic improvement because of the production of putatively homogeneous 2n (= 3.r) gametes. Plantain breeding schemes have been based on the hybridization of 2n megaspores from the triploid plantain and haplo...

Segregation at microsatellite loci in haploid and diploid gametes of Musa
Identification of genetic diversity occurring naturally or created by various methods is a necessity and one of INIBAP's objectives. A system has been set up comprising a transit centre (Louvain-Montpellier) to ensure control in order to distribute valuable germplasm for research. The setting up ...

Progress in the breeding of plantain and banana has been restricted by the complex genetic structure and behaviour of cultivated polyploid Musa. Genetic improvement has been hindered due to the large amount of space required for growth and maintenance of plant populations, in addition to the long...
