This manual describes the key post-harvest criteria and methods/procedures for routine selection of new Musa hybrids. There are many post-harvest criteria for screening new banana, cooking banana and plantain hybrids, however the major ones include : post-harvest characteristics at harvest, fruit...

In most regions of the world, nematodes are recognized as important pests of bananas. Because banana nematodes attack the root and/or corm tissues, plant growth and yield are affected. The objective of these technical guidelines is to stimulate interest in nematode resistance and tolerance screen...

Musa spp (bananas and plantains) constitute a hybrid-polyploid complex and are classified according to different genome compositions such as AA, BB, AB, AAA, AAB, ABB, AAAA, ABBB, AAAB and AABB. Knowledge of ploidy and exact genome compositions of the parental material is essential for Musa breed...

Banana and plantain (Musa spp.) are important food crops in tropical and subtropical regions of the world where they generate millions of dollars annually to both subsistence farmers and exporters. Since 1902, Pseudocercospora banana pathogens, Pseudocercospora fijiensis, P. musae and P. eumusae,...

Taxonomy Bacteria; Phylum Proteobacteria; Class Gammaproteobacteria; Order Xanthomonadales; Family Xanthomonadaceae; Genus Xanthomonas; currently classified as X. campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm). However, fatty acid methyl ester analysis and genetic and genomic evidence suggest that this pathoge...

Progress in the breeding of plantain and banana has been restricted by the complex genetic structure and behaviour of cultivated polyploid Musa. Genetic improvement has been hindered due to the large amount of space required for growth and maintenance of plant populations, in addition to the long...


Crouch, J.H.Crouch, H.K.Constandt, H.Gysel, A. vanBreyne, P.Montagu, M. vanJarret, Robert L.Ortiz, R.[Comparison of PCRbased molecular marker analyses of Musa breeding populations]Comparison of PCRbased molecular marker analyses of Musa breeding populations

Plantain is an important staple in West and Central Africa, where it is predominantly grown by smallholder farmers. On-farm data are rare but yields are considered to be low. We collated actual yields in the region, reviewed regional plantain research published from 1976 to 2013, then estimated w...

Plantain and banana (Musa spp.) are among the most important staple crops for food and income generationfor the rural and urban populations in the humid forest agroecological zone of West Africa. Until recently,Cucumber mosaic virus (genus Cucumovirus) and Banana streak virus (genus Badnavirus) w...
