INIBAP has just published the second edition of Musalogue - a catalogue of Musa diversity. This publication provides descriptions and photographs of species and varieties covering most of the diversity in the genus Musa. Each entry in the catalogue is represented by a photograph and a morpho-taxo...

On-farm Musa germplasm diversity in different agroecologies of Burundi
Studies on banana diversity and distribution have been carried out in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) since the 1950s. However, there are still insufficient data on the distribution of diversity in large areas of the Congo basin. The present study was conducted in the surrounding regi...

The complementarity of farmers and botanical descriptors of the East African Highland banana cultivars (Musa, AAA)
Thirty-seven pairs of accessions of East African highland bananas, listed under the same name in the Ugandan germplasm collections at Kawanda and Kabanyolo, were surveyed for 50 morphological characters. The data were subjected to cluster analysis and principal components analysis. Duplicates kno...

Multivariate analyses of supposedly duplicate accessions of east African highland bananas in germplasm colections in Uganda
Banana germplasm collections serves as a source of useful genes for banana breeding. However, insufficient and/or inaccurate information on the ploidy level of the germplasm renders its utilization in breeding difficult. The objective of this study was to determine and validate the ploidy level o...

Ploidy level of the banana (Musa spp.) accessions at the germplasm collection centre for the East and Central Africa
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 ...
