Hybrids were obtained after in vitro germination of embryos from interploid crosses between triploid ‘French' plantain cultivars (Musa spp. AAB group). ‘Ntanga 2' and ‘Bobby Tannap' with diploid banana (Musa acuminata subsp. burmannicoides) ‘Calcutta 4'. Cross-pollinated bunches were harvested at...

Although cassava is a major food crop, its scientific breeding began only recently compared with other crops. Significant progress has been achieved, particularly in Asia where cassava is used mainly for industrial processes and no major biotic constraints affect its productivity. Cassava breedin...

Plantain and banana (Musa spp. L.) polyploid hybrids have been obtained after interspecific hybridisation and ploidy manipulations (i.e., interploidy crosses). The identification of promising hybrids for cultivar release requires their field testing to assess agronomic performance. The potential ...

L'hybridation et les manipulations ploodiques, c'est-a-dire les croisements interploidiques, ont permis d'obtenir les hybrides polyploides des plantains et des banaiers (Musa spp. L.). L'identification des hybrides prometteurs susceptibles de donner lieu aux cultivars necessite un essai au champ ...

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...

Manihot esculenta Cassava pest problems in Africa have changed dramatically over the last century. Rapidly expanding production and waves of exotic pests have created evolving cassava agroecosystems with changing production constraints. Cassava plant protection activities in Africa began with res...
