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 ...

Prospects for breeding agronomically superior Musa with resistance or tolerance to BSV
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 ...

Environmental influences on shoot and root growth in banana and plantain
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...

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 ...
