Carpentier, S.Panis, B.Bergh, I. van denHouwe, I. van denSwennen, R.[The quest for climate smart varieties: phenotyping the banana biodiversity]The quest for climate smart varieties: phenotyping the banana biodiversity

Bunch weight increase is one of the major objectives of banana improvement programs, but little is known about the loci controlling bunch weight and its component traits. Here we report for the first time some genomic loci associated with bunch weight and its component traits in banana as reveale...


Nyine, M.Uwimana, B.Akech, V.Brown, A.Ortiz, R.Doležel, JaroslavLorenzen, J.Swennen, R.[Association genetics of bunch weight and its component traits in East African highland banana (Musa spp. AAA group).]Association genetics of bunch weight and its component traits in East African highland banana (Musa spp. AAA group).

Bananas (Musa spp.), native to South East Asia, have spread worldwide and are integrated into the diets of millions of people in tropical regions. Carotenoid content varies dramatically between different banana genotypes, providing an opportunity for vitamin A biofortification. Polyploidization i...

Bananas, Musa species, are perennial giant herbs belonging to the family Musaceae (Zingiberales: Scitaminae) (Simmonds, 1966; Tomlinson, 1969). Most bananas are cultivated for their fleshy fruits, but some clones are planted for their edible conns or for fiber. Bananas are among the most importan...

De grandes differences existent entre les cultivars quant a la frequence et la nature des variations phenotypiques sur les plantes regenerees apres culture in vitro. Une grande part de ces variations mime la variabilite naturelle et les variants apparaissent essentiellement comme des copies d'aut...

Africa accounts for 50 of all plantain produced in the world. These plantains are overwhelmingly import as a food crop for local consumption. Black sigatoka has now invaded Africa, thereby endangering this important food source. The long term solution lies in the creation of black sigatoka resist...

Tenkouano, A.Swennen, R.[Progress in breeding and delivering improved plantain and banana to African farmers]Progress in breeding and delivering improved plantain and banana to African farmers

The effect of cycle on root system and shoot development was studied for two crop cycles (plant crop and first ratoon). The study revealed that shoot and root system development declined from the plant crop to the first ratoon for plants grown on degraded Ultisols in south-eastern Nigeria.


Blomme, GuySwennen, R.Soka, G.Turyagyenda, L.F.Tenkouano, A.[Relationship between root and shoot growth traits during the plant crop and first ratoon in banana and plantain (Musa spp.) and its implications for perennial cultivation on degraded Ultisols in southeastern Nigeria.]Relationship between root and shoot growth traits during the plant crop and first ratoon in banana and plantain (Musa spp.) and its implications for perennial cultivation on degraded Ultisols in southeastern Nigeria.
