Plantains and bananas (Musa spp. sect. eumusa) originated from intra- and interspecific hybridization between two wild diploid species, M. acuminata Colla. and M. balbisiana Colla., which contributed the A and B genomes, respectively. Polyploidy and hybridization have given rise to a number of di...

The ploidy level of ninety Guinea yam (Dioscorea Cayenesis/D. rotundata complex) cultivars identified within Benin were determined by both chromosome counting from root tip cells and flow cytometry. Three different ploidy levels (4x,6x,8x,) were detected among the samples. Eighty cultivars were t...

Musa spp (bananas and plantains) constitute a hybrid-polyploid complex and are classified according to different genome compositions such as AA, BB, AB, AAA, AAB, ABB, AAAA, ABBB, AAAB and AABB. Knowledge of ploidy and exact genome compositions of the parental material is essential for Musa breed...

Musa acuminata Colla (AA genomes) and Musa balbisiana Colla (BB genomes) are the diploid ancestors of modern bananas that are mostly diploid or triploid cultivars with various combinations of the A and B genomes, including AA, AAA, BB, AAB and ABB. The objective of this study was to identify mole...

The objective of this study was to construct a molecular phylogeny of the genus Musa using restriction-site polymorphisms of the chloroplast (cpDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Six cpDNA and two mtDNA sequences were amplified individually in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments in 13 sp...

Fifteen AFLP primer pairs (EcoRI+3 and MseI+3) and 60 10-mer RAPD primers were used to detect polymorphisms and assess genetic relationships in a sample of 25 plantains from diverse parts of Western and Central Africa. The discriminatory power of the AFLP technique was greater than that of the RA...

Banana germplasm collections serves as a source of useful genes for banana breeding. However, insufficient and/or inaccurate information on the ploidy level of the germplasm renders its utilization in breeding difficult. The objective of this study was to determine and validate the ploidy level o...

The AFLP technique was used to assess the genetic diversity and sectional relationships in 39 accessions representing the four main sections of the genus Musa. Eight AFLP + 3 primer pairs produced 260 poly-morphic bands that were used in cluster and PCO analysis. A wide range of variability was o...

Cytological studies in Musa spp. L. are hampered by the small size and poor staining ability of the chromosomes. The aim of this experiment was to use silver nitrate as a staining agent for Musa chromosomes. The results of this study showed that silver nitrate is a useful alternative stain for cy...

This study investigates the economic impact of banana Xanthomonas wilt (bxw) and drought on banana production in Uganda. The objective of this research is to determine the benefits of targeted research to avoid economic losses. In the worst-case scenarios, spread of bxw at a rate of 8% per annum,...
