Using the technique of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), we have identified 116 amplification products in Musa germplasm using nine primers. This has enabled us to identify RAPD markers that are specific to each of nine genotypes of Musa representing AA, AAA, AAB, ABB, and BB genomes. The ...

The use of RAPD for identifying and classifying Musa germplasm
Banana (Musa spp.) is an important crop in the African Great Lakes region in terms of income and food security, with the highest per capita consumption worldwide. Pests, diseases and climate change hamper sustainable production of bananas. New breeding tools with increased crossbreeding efficienc...

Trait variation and genetic diversity in a banana genomic selection training population
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...
