Report.“Exploration of wild banana populations in Papua New Guinea”, 7-17 June 2017
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...

Papua New Guinea (PNG), including neighbouring islands, is a recognized centre of diversity and
potentially a domestication centre for banana (Christoleva et al. 2016; Lebot 1999; Sardos et al.
2016; Volkaert, 2011). IBPGR and QDPI (current DAF) in co-operation with the PNG Department of Agricult...

Ensuring the availability of the broadest possible germplasm base for agriculture in the face of increasingly uncertain and variable patterns of biotic and abiotic change is fundamental for the world's future food supply. While ex situ conservation plays a major role in the conservation and avail...
