Banana production in Eastern Africa is threatened by the presence of a new devastating bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas vasicola pv. musacearum (formerly Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum). The disease has been identified in Uganda, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Tanz...

This study was carried out to assess the phenotypic correlations among phenological traits, yield, and black sigatoka disease (BSD) response of 14 Musa genotypes grown for three cropping cycles in three high-altitude sites that varied in temperature and annual rainfall. Pre-flowering plant growth...

Africa is one of the secondary centers of diversity for the genus Musa. There is a wide range of genetic diversity in the bananas found in the continent with different types dominating different ecological sub-regions. Banana production in Africa is affected by a number of diseases and pests. The...

Cultivated bananas originated from interspecific hybridisation of two wild diploid (2n = 2x = 22) species, Musa acuminata and M. balbisiana that were the donors of the A and B genomes, respectively. Most cultivated bananas are triploids with 2n = 3x = 33 chromosomes. They vary in genome compositi...

The East African highland banana (Musa spp. AAA) is an economically important food crop. The crop is affected by a number of diseases and pests. Genetic improvement of the crop is hindered by very low seed set and poor seed germination. The objective of this study was to compare seed set, seed qu...

Seed production from hybridizations involving the East African Highland bananas (Mum spp., AAA group) is low due to high levels of sterility. This is a major impediment for the development of hybrids with disease and pest resistance and superior agronomic traits. The objective of this study was t...

Poor reproductive development in yams (Dioscorea spp.) has often been attributed to the polyploid nature of the crop. In this study, flow cytometry was used to determine the ploidy level of 53 accessions of Dioscorea alata, mostly from West African countries, Chad and Puerto Rico. Nuclei were iso...

The ploidy levels of the twenty-two yam (Dioscorea cayenensis-D. rotundata complex) cultivars within germplasm Cameroon Guinea yam were determined by flow cytometry. Three different ploidy levels (4x,6x, 8x) were detected within the samples analysed. Fifteen cultivars were tetraploids, five were ...
