Variety improvement of plantain and banana (Musa spp.) is based on genetic diversity, which provides the basis for selection gain. This paper reviews result obtained by the Plantain and Banana Improvement Programme (PBIP) of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in the development o...
IITA has increased its knowledge about major constraints across agro-ecological zones and gene pools for Musa production in Africa. The authors review the following different aspects: adding more desirable attributes to breeding populations; integration of host-plant resistance, enhanced utilizat...
The Plantain and Banana Improvement Program (PBIP) of IITA has developed black Sigatoka resistant tetraploid hybrids of plantains (PITA) and cooking banana (BITA). The main selection criteria were black Sigatoka resistance, yield, and fruit quality. However, it was felt necessary to also determin...
