The genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of 29 East African highland banana (Musa spp.) cultivars and two outgroup taxa, M. acuminata Calcutta 4 and Agbagba were surveyed by RAPD analysis. A genetic similarity matrix was established based on the presence or absence of polymorphic ampl...

Analysis of genetic diversity and relationships in East African banana germplasm
Banana is an important food and cash crop in Uganda. The crop displays wide diversity but the genetic relationship between and withing cultivars is largely unknown. A study was conducted to assess genetic relationships among 'Sukali Ndizi' clones collected from 16 different localities in Uganda ...

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...
