Hauser, S.Clifford, G.Pasberg-Gauhl, C.Gauhl, F.Akello, J.Jacobsen, K.Norgrove, L.Coyne, D.Kumar, P.L.Mahuku, G.Kaushal, M.Nakato, V.Tripathi, L.Tripathi, J.[Identifying and managing plant health risks for key African crops: banana and plantain]Identifying and managing plant health risks for key African crops: banana and plantain

A field experiment with suckers taken from five improved plantain hybrids and one landrace with typical symptoms of banana streak badnavirus (BSV) infection was established at Ibadan (Nigeria) to investigate climatic factors affecting BSV symptom development and to identify parameters useful in g...

Molecular genetic techniques may have a wide range of applications for improving the efficiency of Musa breeding and conservation. These range from analysis of genetic behaviour and structure, germplasm characterization and marker assisted selection. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP...

Black sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis) causes yield losses of 30 to 50% in banana and plantain. The cultivation of resistant cultivars is the most appropriate intervention to control this fungal leaf spot disease in Africa. The short-term approach of the International Institute of Tropical Agr...

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...

Introduction. Chips or crisps are the most important foods usually fried; they are presented in the form of thin discs (chips) or sometimes in the form of sticks (French fries). Materials and methods. Chips were prepared starting from pulp samples resulting from five hybrids of plantain and banan...

Plantains (Musa spp. AAB) are regarded as the most diverse subgroup of the triploid bananas. Initially they were classified on the basis of morphological characters. New molecular techniques are now being used to explain plantain diversity. Prior to this study no attempt has been made to merge mo...
