Seed set in triploid Musa spp. L. is very low due to high levels of sterility. This makes cross breeding of plantain and banana difficult. Nonetheless, several triploid plantain and banana cultivars produce seeds after hand pollination with diploid parents. This paper reports results about the pa...
Plantain (Musa spp., AAB group) is a major food crop in the humid lowland tropics of Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. Lodging, caused by strong winds occurs periodically in these areas. Therefore, development of dwarf plantain cultivars and elucidation of the inheritance of dwarfism is de...

The aim of the work was to study the genetic origin of the persistence of male bracts and neutral flowers in diploid bananas bred by crossing diploids and tetraploids. The genetic system proposed for somaclonal variation and evolution in triploid bananas is described. [L'objectif du travail a con...

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 ...
