There are 84 distinct cultivars of highland bananas (Musa spp.) in Uganda, grouped in five clone sets and it is not known which among these are female fertile. The objective of the study reported herein was to identify female fertile highland bananas that can be used in a cross breeding program a...

Genetic diversity among East African highland bananas for female fertility
The improvement of East African highland bananas (EAHBs) using conventional breeding methods is difficult due to their biology and therefore focus on improving them has shifted to exploring methods for establishment of embryogenic cell suspensions, which can then be targeted, for genetic transfor...

Generation of cell suspensions of East African highland bananas through scalps
Seed production from hybridizations involving the East African Highland bananas (Mum spp., AAA group) is low due to high levels of sterility. This is a major impediment for the development of hybrids with disease and pest resistance and superior agronomic traits. The objective of this study was t...
