The East African highlands, home to more than 80 cultivated varieties of locally evolved bananas, constitute a secondary centre of banana diversity. Uganda is the leading producer and consumer of banana in the region and also enjoys the highest diversity of a group of bananas uniquely adapted to ...

Diversity, distribution and farmer preferences of Musa cultivars in Uganda
New varieties are often developed on research stations with limited farmer involvement until the final stages of testing. Recently, farmer participatory approaches have been employed to include farmers' input into breeding objectives at much earlier stages of varietal development. This paper repo...

Selection criteria of Musa cultivars as determined through a farmer participatory appraisal survey in Uganda
All the edible AA varieties studied here are genetically homogeneous, constituting a unique subgroup,
here called ‘Mchare’, despite high phenotypic variation and adaptions to highly diverse ecological zones.
At triploid level, and besides the well-known AAA Mutika subgroup, at least two other gen...
