Tenkouano, A.Swennen, R.[Progress in breeding and delivering improved plantain and banana to African farmers]Progress in breeding and delivering improved plantain and banana to African farmers
Tenkouano, A.Vuylsteke, D.R.Okoro, J.Makumbi, DanSwennen, R.Ortiz, R.[Diploid banana hybrids TMB2x51051 and TMB2x91283 with good combining ability, resistance to black sigatoka and nematodes]Diploid banana hybrids TMB2x51051 and TMB2x91283 with good combining ability, resistance to black sigatoka and nematodes

The magnitude of genetic expression and associations among traits are important for the prediction of response to selection in diverse environments and provide the basis for planning and evaluating breeding programs. In this regard, a cross classification mating design was used to produce hybrid ...


Kenga, R.Tenkouano, A.Gupta, S.C.Alabi, S.O.[Genetic and phenotypic association between yield components in hybrid sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) populations]Genetic and phenotypic association between yield components in hybrid sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) populations

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...


Ssebuliba, R.Talengera, D.Makumbi, DanNamanya, P.Tenkouano, A.Tushemereirwe, W.K.Pillay, M.[Reproductive efficiency and breeding potential of East African highland (Musa AAAEA) bananas]Reproductive efficiency and breeding potential of East African highland (Musa AAAEA) bananas

The triploid plantain landrace Obino l Ewai (Musa spp., AAB genome) has been crossed with a wild diploid banana (M. acuminata subsp. burmannica var. Calcutta 4 , AA genome) to generate full-sib diploid and tetraploid hybrids combining good agronomic performance and disease resistance. Microsatell...


Crouch, J.Crouch, H.Tenkouano, A.Ortiz, R.[VNTRbased diversity analysis of 2x and 4x fullsib Musa hybrids]VNTRbased diversity analysis of 2x and 4x fullsib Musa hybrids

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 ...


Wilson, V.Tenkouano, A.Pasberg-Gauhl, C.Gauhl, F.[Heterotic responses of tetraploid and triploid plantain hybrids in southeast Nigeria]Heterotic responses of tetraploid and triploid plantain hybrids in southeast Nigeria

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...


Shaibu, A.A.Nwonuala, A.I.Tenkouano, A.Ogburia, M.N.[Agronomic performance of 4n x 2nderived plantain (Musa sp. AAB group) hybrids in a humid agroecological zone of Nigeria]Agronomic performance of 4n x 2nderived plantain (Musa sp. AAB group) hybrids in a humid agroecological zone of Nigeria

We attempted to determine ploidy level in the gametophyte and the sporophyte of Musa using pollen and chloroplast characteristics, respectively. In the gametophyte, interploidy differences accounted for 63.8 % of the genetic variance for pollen diameter and 87.5% for pollen stainability, the rema...


Tenkouano, A.Crouch, J.H.Crouch, H.K.Vuylsteke, D.R.[Ploidy determination in Musa germplasm using pollen and chloroplast characteristics]Ploidy determination in Musa germplasm using pollen and chloroplast characteristics

The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising way of controlling nematodes is through the development and deployment of resistant cultivars. This usually involves crossing triploid cultivars with fertile diploids to produce...
