There are 84 distinct cultivars of highland bananas (Musa spp.) in Uganda, grouped in five clone sets and it is not known which among these are female fertile. The objective of the study reported herein was to identify female fertile highland bananas that can be used in a cross breeding program a...

Sweetpotato virus disease (SPVD) causes more than 90 percent yield decline, especially in areas with high disease pressure. In central Uganda region, Ejumula, an SPVD susceptible variety almost disappeared on farmers' fields due to SPVD by fourth implementation year HarvestPlus project in 2010. I...

Africa is one of the secondary centers of diversity for the genus Musa. There is a wide range of genetic diversity in the bananas found in the continent with different types dominating different ecological sub-regions. Banana production in Africa is affected by a number of diseases and pests. The...

The East African highland banana (Musa spp. AAA) is an economically important food crop. The crop is affected by a number of diseases and pests. Genetic improvement of the crop is hindered by very low seed set and poor seed germination. The objective of this study was to compare seed set, seed qu...

Seed production from hybridizations involving the East African Highland bananas (Mum spp., AAA group) is low due to high levels of sterility. This is a major impediment for the development of hybrids with disease and pest resistance and superior agronomic traits. The objective of this study was t...

Bananas and plantains are one of the most important crops in the world, yet very few hybrids are cultivated. Bananas face considerable pressure from multiple biotic and abiotic stresses, but its genetic improvement is impeded by constraints on seed set due to multiple physiological and reproducti...

Crop landraces (largely resulting from adaptation and continuous selection by farmers) are more diverse within field populations than modern cultivars (produced by deliberate crossing), yet their distribution has continued to shrink in the past decades. The temporal dynamics of this shrinking is ...

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...
