Vuylsteke, D.R.Swennen, R.Ortiz, R.[Registration of 14 improved tropical Musa plantain hybrids with black sigatoka resistance]Registration of 14 improved tropical Musa plantain hybrids with black sigatoka resistance

This publication reviews in detail the history of shoot-tip culture of Musa, in vitro propagation procedures, in vitro conservation, germplasm exchange using in vitro cultures and potential problems.


Vuylsteke, D.R.[Shoot tip culture for the propagation, conservation and exchange of Musa germplasm]Shoot tip culture for the propagation, conservation and exchange of Musa germplasm

Plantains and bananas are an important staple food crop in developing countries. Genetic improvement programmes have been spurred by the rapid spread of black sigatoka disease, but the genus Musa is intractable in terms of conventional breeding strategies. The potential ofbiotechnology in banana ...


Vuylsteke, D.R.Swennen, R.[Biotechnological approaches to plantain and banana improvement at IITA]Biotechnological approaches to plantain and banana improvement at IITA

Thirty-seven pairs of accessions of East African highland bananas, listed under the same name in the Ugandan germplasm collections at Kawanda and Kabanyolo, were surveyed for 50 morphological characters. The data were subjected to cluster analysis and principal components analysis. Duplicates kno...


Pickersgrill, B.Vuylsteke, D.R.Gold, C.Karamura, E.B.Kiggundu, A.Karamura, D.[Multivariate analyses of supposedly duplicate accessions of east African highland bananas in germplasm colections in Uganda]Multivariate analyses of supposedly duplicate accessions of east African highland bananas in germplasm colections in Uganda

Variety improvement of plantain and banana (Musa spp.) is based on genetic diversity, which provides the basis for selection gain. This paper reviews result obtained by the Plantain and Banana Improvement Programme (PBIP) of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in the development o...

Vuylsteke, D.R.[Shoot-tip culture for the propagation, conservation and distribution of Musa germplasm]Shoot-tip culture for the propagation, conservation and distribution of Musa germplasm

Bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) are the most important tropical fruit crops. They form an integral component of the farming systems in the humid agroecological zones of the tropics. A broad array of applied cell and molecular techniques are increasingly being used worldwide to facilitate and en...


Crouch, J.H.Vuylsteke, D.R.Ortiz, R.[Perspectives on the application of biotechnology to assist the genetic enhancement of plantain and banana (Musa spp.)]Perspectives on the application of biotechnology to assist the genetic enhancement of plantain and banana (Musa spp.)

Banana weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus Germar) is a major limiting factor in the cultivation of plantains and bananas (Musa spp. L.) in sub-Saharan Africa. The larvae damage the crop by tunneling in the corm. Chemical control is feasible but not sustainable, whereas host plant resistance is safe an...

Ortiz, R.Vuylsteke, D.R.Crouch, H.Crouch, J.[TM3x: triploid black sigatoka resistant Musa hybrid germplasm]TM3x: triploid black sigatoka resistant Musa hybrid germplasm

A multilocational evaluation trial comprising 18 Musa genotypes was carried out from 1991 to 1994 in three representative locations in the humid forest (Onne, Nigeria and M'Balmayo, Cameroon) and the Forest-savanna Transstion (Ibadan, Nigeria) Zones of West and Central Africa. The main objective ...
