Musa spp (bananas and plantains) constitute a hybrid-polyploid complex and are classified according to different genome compositions such as AA, BB, AB, AAA, AAB, ABB, AAAA, ABBB, AAAB and AABB. Knowledge of ploidy and exact genome compositions of the parental material is essential for Musa breed...

A field experiment was conducted on thirteen (13) Musa hybrids derived from 4n x 2n crosses, three (3) checks and two (2) plantain landraces to evaluate phenology, growth characteristics and yield performance in a humid agro ecological zone of Nigeria. Fifteen (15) phenotypic characters were sign...

Musa acuminata Colla (AA genomes) and Musa balbisiana Colla (BB genomes) are the diploid ancestors of modern bananas that are mostly diploid or triploid cultivars with various combinations of the A and B genomes, including AA, AAA, BB, AAB and ABB. The objective of this study was to identify mole...

The objective of this study was to construct a molecular phylogeny of the genus Musa using restriction-site polymorphisms of the chloroplast (cpDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Six cpDNA and two mtDNA sequences were amplified individually in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments in 13 sp...

Fifteen AFLP primer pairs (EcoRI+3 and MseI+3) and 60 10-mer RAPD primers were used to detect polymorphisms and assess genetic relationships in a sample of 25 plantains from diverse parts of Western and Central Africa. The discriminatory power of the AFLP technique was greater than that of the RA...

The AFLP technique was used to assess the genetic diversity and sectional relationships in 39 accessions representing the four main sections of the genus Musa. Eight AFLP + 3 primer pairs produced 260 poly-morphic bands that were used in cluster and PCO analysis. A wide range of variability was o...

Soil moisture deficit frequently occurs at the onset of the growing season and may cause crop failure. Resowing with early maturing varieties has often been the only alternative, besides transplanting. To assess the relative efficiency of the two resuce methods two sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) M...

Les déficits hydriques interviennent fréquemment en début d'hivernage et causent souvent des manques à la levée. En dehors du repiquage, le seul recours des paysans est de resemer avec des variétés plus précoces. En vue de comparer l'efficacité relative des deux méthodes de sauvegarde, deux varié...

Genome size variation occurs within and across generations in Musa spp., which reduces the predictive accuracy of parental performance on progeny value for yield and other traits with complex inheritance. Parental selection through progeny testing of prospective parents is required to achieve fur...

The objectives of this study were to understand the effects of ontogeny on the expression and inheritance of resistance of sorghum (Sorghum hieolor [L.] Moench) to Colletotrichum graminicola (Ces.)Wils., the causal agent of anthracnose. Two resistant cuItivars (SC326-fi and SC599-11E) and two sus...
