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

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

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 ...


Cauwer, I. deOrtiz, R.Vuylsteke, D.R.[Genotype by environment interaction in Musa germplasm revealed by multisite evaluation in subSaharan Africa]Genotype by environment interaction in Musa germplasm revealed by multisite evaluation in subSaharan Africa

Tissue culture is increasingly being used as a vehicle for the safe exchange of Musa germplasm. However, certain pathogens, e.g banana bunchy-top virus (BBTV), may pass undetected through in vitro culture. To meet the urgent need for introducing new desired germplasm for Musa breeding and reduced...


Vuylsteke, D.R.Schoofs, J.Swennen, R.Adejare, G.Ayodele, M.Langhe, E. de[Shoottip culture and thirdcountry quarantine to facilitate the introduction of new Musa germplasm into West Africa]Shoottip culture and thirdcountry quarantine to facilitate the introduction of new Musa germplasm into West Africa

Plantains (Musa spp., AAB group) are an important food crop and an integral component of the farming systems in the lowland humid forest zone of West and Central Africa. A group of 24 plantain cultivars, representing the major variability in West Africa, was evaluated for nine quantitative charac...


Swennen, R.Vuylsteke, D.R.Ortiz, R.[Phenotypic diversity and pattern of variation in West African plantains (Musa spp. AAB group)]Phenotypic diversity and pattern of variation in West African plantains (Musa spp. AAB group)

Genetic diversity amongst 76 plantain landraces has been studied using RAPD analysis at two levels of intensity and compared with groupings based on phenotypic indices and morphotype. There was a good correlation (R2=0.78) between estimates of genetic diversity based on 76 RAPD bands and 164 RAPD...


Crouch, H.K.Crouch, J.H.Madsen, S.Vuylsteke, D.R.Ortiz, R.[Comparative analysis of phenotypic and genoytpic diversity among plantain landraces (Musa spp., AAB group)]Comparative analysis of phenotypic and genoytpic diversity among plantain landraces (Musa spp., AAB group)
