The production of triploid banana and plantain (Musa spp.) cultivars with improved characteristics (e.g. greater disease resistance or higher yield), while still preserving the main features of current popular cultivars (e.g. taste and cooking quality), remains a major challenge for Musa breeders...

Foundation characteristics of edible Musa triploids revealed from allelic distribution of SSR markers
Background and Aims: Dessert and cooking bananas are vegetatively propagated crops of great importance for both the subsistence and the livelihood of people in developing countries. A wide diversity of diploid and triploid cultivars including AA, AB, AS, AT, AAA, AAB, ABB, AAS and AAT genomic con...

DArT whole genome profiling provides insights on the evolution and taxonomy of edible Banana (Musa spp.)
This study aims to understand the genetic diversity of traditional Oceanian starchy bananas in order to propose an efficient conservation strategy for these endangered varieties. SSR and DArT molecular markers are used to characterize a large sample of Pacific accessions, from New Guinea to Tahit...

Using genotyping-by-sequencing to understand Musa diversity
All the edible AA varieties studied here are genetically homogeneous, constituting a unique subgroup,
here called ‘Mchare’, despite high phenotypic variation and adaptions to highly diverse ecological zones.
At triploid level, and besides the well-known AAA Mutika subgroup, at least two other gen...
