Molecular genetic techniques may have a wide range of applications for improving the efficiency of Musa breeding and conservation. These range from analysis of genetic behaviour and structure, germplasm characterization and marker assisted selection. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP...

Utilization of molecular genetic techniques in support of plantain and banana improvement
Black sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis) causes yield losses of 30 to 50% in banana and plantain. The cultivation of resistant cultivars is the most appropriate intervention to control this fungal leaf spot disease in Africa. The short-term approach of the International Institute of Tropical Agr...

The role of extension services for the successful introduction of new Musa cultivars in southeastern Nigeria
Genetic diversity amongst 76 plantain landraces has been studied using RAPD analysis at two levels of intensity and compared with groupings based on phenotypic indices and morphotype. There was a good correlation (R2=0.78) between estimates of genetic diversity based on 76 RAPD bands and 164 RAPD...
La cercosporiose noire est une maladie du systeme foliaire chez Ie plantain et Ie bananier. L'agent causal est Ie champignon Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. La cercosporiose noire constitue I'une des con-traintes les plus importantes a la production du plantain et de la banane dans Ie monde. Le...
