The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model was used to evaluate the stability patterns of 36 Musa genotypes in four cropping environments for bunch weight, pulp weight, and dry matter content. Alleycropping generally induced higher means for all traits than did sole cro...

This study aimed to assess the persistence and horticultural value of bunch dichotomy in plantain. Meristematic tissue was collected from a plant of the cultivar UNN showing a double-bunch phenotype and cultured in vitro. Ninety-five seedlings were acclimatized for 6 to 8 weeks in a greenhouse, p...

Multiple correlation of phenological and yield traits of the plant crop (PC) with those of the first ratoon crop (RC) of 36 Musa genotypes was carried out. The genotypes were landraces (triploid) belonging to AAA, AAB and ABB Musa genomic groups and hybrids (mostly tetraploid) thereof. The plants...

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...

Traditional approaches to the breeding of Musa crops are highly demanding in terms of both time and space. However, the application of molecular genetic analysis may dramatically improve breeding efficiency. The objectives of the present study were to compare pedigree and DNA marker methods of es...

Pedigree and DNA marker-based methods were used to predict the performance of triploid progeny from tetraploid-diploid crosses, based on parental heterozygosity, genetic relatedness, and expected contribution to their progeny. There was no significant correlation between parental and progeny perf...

Four statistical approaches were examined for stability analysis for yield in order to determine their congruence in identification of musa genotypes. Thirty-six Musa genotypes grown in four location for two crop cycle were evaluated. The statistical methods used included Gauch’s additive main ef...

Genetic enhancement of plantain (Musa spp. L., AAB group) has aimed at producing hybrids with high yield, short stature, early maturity, fast crop cycling, and disease resistance. Two tetraploid clones derived from the plantain landrace ‘Bobby Tannap’ (BT) and ‘Obino l’Ewai’ (OL) were crossed to ...

Pests and diseases have become major constraints to smallholder banana production in the highlands of East Africa. Biotic challenges to banana cultivation include fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and insects. Host-plant resistance, developed either by conventional breeding or by application of...
