East African highland bananas (AAA, EAHB) form over 80% of the banana cultivars in the Great Lakes region and are a source of food and income for over 40 million in the region. The production of these bananas has been constrained by pests, diseases, soil fertility decline and most recently climat...

Musa balbisiana is a wild banana genotype with important traits such as drought tolerance and disease resistance. Uniform and clean plants are often required to study these traits in different laboratories but plants can only be generated through a tissue culture process yet for a long time a pro...

It is imperative to systematically evaluate new banana genotypes in different locations before national release. This enables selection and recommendation of superior genotypes as new varieties for a wider range of environments. The objective of the present study was to select banana genotypes wi...
