Blomme, GuySwennen, R.Tenkouano, A.Turyagyenda, L.F.Soka, G.Ortiz, R.[Comparative study of shoot and root development in micropropagated and sucker derived banana and plantain (Musa spp.) plants]Comparative study of shoot and root development in micropropagated and sucker derived banana and plantain (Musa spp.) plants

Plantain and banana (Musa s pp.J are giant perennial herbs which originated in Southeast Asia. Musa is an important food crop in the humid forest and mid-altitude ecologies of sub-Saharan Africa. Several criteria are used to distinguish the different types of cultivated plantain and banana, evolv...


Swennen, R.Ortiz, R.[Morphology and growth of plantain and banana: IITA research guide, No. 66]Morphology and growth of plantain and banana: IITA research guide, No. 66

Proper classification and establishment of relationships between and within Musa taxonomic clusters will be important tools for the genetic improvement of plantain and banana. This paper assesses the value of a phenotypic diversity index, based on 16 quantitative descriptors, for germplasm cluste...


Ortiz, R.Madsen, S.Vuylsteke, D.R.[Classification of African plantain landraces and banana cultivars using a phenotypic distance index of quantitative descriptors]Classification of African plantain landraces and banana cultivars using a phenotypic distance index of quantitative descriptors

In vitro-propagated plants of plantain (Musa spp., AAB group) did not manifest consistently superior horticultural performance compared to conventional propagules. Tissue culture plants grew vigorously and taller than sucker-propagated plants, but higher yield was not obtained, probably because o...
