Africa accounts for 50 of all plantain produced in the world. These plantains are overwhelmingly import as a food crop for local consumption. Black sigatoka has now invaded Africa, thereby endangering this important food source. The long term solution lies in the creation of black sigatoka resist...

Bunch orientation is an economically important trait in plantain ( Musa spp. AAB group) and banana ( Musa spp. AAA or ABB groups). Pendulous bunches are more symmetrical than subhorizontal, horizontal, or erect bunches and are, therefore, better adapted for transportation. Erect, horizontal, subh...

Forty-five Musa clones, including endemic and introduced cultivars plus hybrids, were evaluated for resistance against the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, in a field trial in Uganda. The predominant groups of staple crops, East African highland bananas (Musa spp. AAA) and plantains (Musaspp...

Triploid plantains (Musa AAB) are among the most important horticultural crops of West Africa. However, all landraces are susceptible to black Sigatoka, a fungal disease caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis, Morelet. To ameliorate the spread of this epidemic, exotic triploid cooking bananas (ABB), ...

Africa is one of the secondary centers of diversity for the genus Musa. There is a wide range of genetic diversity in the bananas found in the continent with different types dominating different ecological sub-regions. Banana production in Africa is affected by a number of diseases and pests. The...

Micropropagated plants of 36 Musa genotypes with diverse genetic backgrounds, including 14 tetraploid plantain (TMPx) and banana (TMBx) hybrids, were evaluated for their response to banana streak badnavirus (BSV) infection under three environments from 1995 to 1997 in Nigeria. The characteristics...

Proper classification and establishment of relationships between and within Musa taxonomic clusters will be important tools for the genetic improvement of plantain and banana. This paper assesses the value of a phenotypic diversity index, based on 16 quantitative descriptors, for germplasm cluste...

Drought tolerance combined with resistance to black sigatoka (BS) disease are two desirable traits for plantains in some parts of the tropics. Field evaluation of leaf stomatal conductance, single leaf transpiration rate, photochemical efficiency, and role of stomata in BS resistance, was done fo...
