Black sigatoka is a leaf spot disease on plantain and banana. Its sausal agent is the fungus Mycos-phaerella fijunsis Morelet. Black sigatoka is one of the most important constraints of plantain and banana cultivation throughout the world. Yield loss can be up to 50 %. Chemical control of the dis...

Plantains (Musa spp. AAB group) are starchy bananas widely grown in Africa and tropical America by small landholders. Genetic analysis of the plantain genome is difficult due to its triploidy and high sterility. Ploidy manipulations (scaling up and down the number of chromosomes) and interspecifi...

Banana has long been considered intractable to genetic improvement as only landraces are cultivated despite 75 years of breeding endeavors. However, recent advances in several breeding programs have demonstrated that development of improved germplasm through conventional cross-breeding may eventu...
