Banana(Musa spp. L.) breeding, aiming to develop pest resistant cultivars for the export trade, started about 75 years ago in the West Indies. However, all banana exported today are still farmers' selection from somatic mutants of the group of Cavendish, and have a very narrow genetic base. In th...
