The genetic improvement of banana and plantain has focused on breeding for resistance to black sigatoka. This has been quite successful, but the distribution of improved hybrids has been impeded by the outbvreak of Banana streak virus (BSV). Integration of viral sequences in Musa genomes make it ...

Multilocation evaluation trials (MET) constitute an important step in the evaluation of breeding lines, in order to assess their adaptation and stability patterns across environments, and to ensure optimal targeting of the lines. Seven Musa genotypes comprising five plantain hybrids, one cooking ...

The correct placement of fertilizer materials has a major effect on quantity of nutrient available for plant use and quantity lost through erosion and leaching. Thus, the effects of manure placement on whole-plant dry matter production and growth analysis traits were studied in a screen-house. Th...

Studies on the influence of environmental conditions on Musa plant growth have predominantly focused on dessert bananas (Musa AAA group). The effect of location, field within location and planting date on shoot and root traits of field-grown flowering plants of 6 Musa spp. genotypes belonging to ...

Les etudes sur I'influence des conditions environnementales sur la croissance des plantes Musa avaient surtout focalise surla banane de dessert (groupe Musa AAA). L'effet de I'emplacement, le champ a l'interieur de I 'emplacement et la date de plantationsur le rejeton et les traits de racines des...

Several factors including ploidy and genome composition influence the inheritance of agronomic traits in Musa populations. Research results have indicated that gender determines the inheritance of quantitative traits in this species, but whether inheritance patterns are ploidy-dependent or gender...

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.

El efecto cíclico en el sistema radical y en el desarrollo de otras partes de la planta fue estudiado durante dos ciclos de producción (siembra y primer renuevo). El estudio reveló que el desarrollo del sistema radical y otras partes de la planta declinó desde el momento de la siembra hasta el pr...

The influence of the size and physiological stage of the sucker-derived planting material on subsequent root and shoot growth of banana and plantain has not been studied in detail. The objective of this study was to evaluate associations between traits of the sucker planting material and root and...

Detailed time studies on the distribution of dry matter within a Musa spp. plants ' root and shoot system have not been done. Hence, the influence of genotype and developmental stage on the root system development, plant dry matter distribution and the shoot-root ratio of field grown Musa spp. pl...

Plantains have long been a traditional staple food in many countries in West and Central Africa WCA). Similarly, the highland banana has been and still is a major food crop in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA). However, the black sigatoka leaf spot disease epidemic, which reached ESA in the late ...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most important staple food crops of the people in Cameroon, with some estimated 204,548 hectares devoted to it and corresponding annual production of 1,998,819 metric tons. It plays a major role in efforts to alleviate food crisis due to its effici...
