Bananas (Musa spp.), including dessert and cooking types, are of major importance in the tropics. Due to extremely high levels of sterility, the diversity of cultivated bananas is fixed over long periods of time to the existing genotypes. This pattern puts banana-based agrosystems at risk. Theref...

The International Transit Centre (ITC) managed by the Bioversity International is the largest ex situ collection of Musa germplasm. The genebank is hosted by Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium and maintains in vitro more than 1500 accessions, which include cultivated clones of banana, impr...

Banana (Musa) is one of the most important economic and staple crops in the world. The majority of edible cultivated banana species arises from two species of the Eumusa group, Musa acuminata (A genome) and Musa balbisiana(B genome). In order to assess the biochemical diversity that exists in our...

Application of NGS-generated SNP data to complex crops studies: the example of Musa spp. (banana).
The production of bananas is threatened by rapid spreading of various diseases and adverse environmental conditions. The preservation and characterization of banana diversity is essential for the purposes of crop improvement. The world's largest banana germplasm collection maintained at the Biove...

Managing banana genetic resources and genomic information with the triplet Drupal/Tripal/Chado
Bananas (Musa spp.), including dessert and cooking types, are giant perennial monocotyledonous herbs of the order Zingiberales, a sister group to the well-studied Poales, which include cereals. Bananas are vital for food security in many tropical and subtropical countries and the most popular fru...
