Plant in vitro vegetative propagation using classical semi-solid culture medium is limited due to the low degree of automation, suboptimal nutrient availability and induced physiological stress which often reduce its efficiency. Temporary Immersion System (TIS) emerged as an innovative approach t...

Agromorphologic, genetic and methylation profiling of Dioscorea and Musa species multiplied under three micropropagation systems
Despite considerable efforts of Musa improvement programmes, banana and plantain production still depends upon a limited number of landraces selected by man from the natural germplasm. Inability to replace land-races by cultivars obtained through cross-breeding creates the increased risk of epide...

Livestock and fish genetics component: Background proposals for the CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish
The triploid nature of plantain and its pattern of inheritance should have represented a challenge and an incentive for geneticists. However, few genetic and cytological investigations have been done in Musa spp. Both banana and plantain have been ignored and neglected as material for basic genet...
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs) were used to study the genetic diversity within and between accessions of 'wild' and cultivated B. rapa. Two of the wild accessions were likely to be escapes from cultivation because of their geographical origins (Argentina and California). The na...
Diploid cultivated species, haploids derived from tetraploid cultivars, and their wildSolanum relatives were used to generate various diploid potato genetic stocks. These stocks have significant value in potato breeding because: 1) genetic diversity in the potato population can be kept variable w...
