Garming, H.Castellon, N.Rajala, S.Grote, U.Staver, Charles[Banana value chains in Central America - options for smallholders on domestic and regional markets]Banana value chains in Central America - options for smallholders on domestic and regional markets

Meiotic studies in Musa L. have been hampered by: 1) time-consuming efforts required to find the correct stages of cell division; 2) rigidity of the microsporocyte cell wall that makes preparation of smears difficult; and 3) poor staining of prophase chromosomes. This study describes an improved ...

Banana cultivars (Musa ssp.) are diploid, triploid and tetraploid hybrids derived from Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. We presented a high-quality draft genome assembly of M. balbisiana with 430 Mb (87%) assembled into 11 chromosomes. We identified that the recent divergence of M. acuminata (...

Secondary triploids were produced by crossing primary tetraploids with selected diploid partners and the parthenocarpic banana (Galeo). Comparisons between secondary tetraploids and secondary triploids showed that the secondary tetraploids generally had lower yields than secondary triploids. The ...

Using the technique of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), we have identified 116 amplification products in Musa germplasm using nine primers. This has enabled us to identify RAPD markers that are specific to each of nine genotypes of Musa representing AA, AAA, AAB, ABB, and BB genomes. The ...

Leaf age effects on the leaf conductance to water vapour diffusion of the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces were measured in the morning and in the afternoon on 17 different plantain and banana (Musa spp.) genotypes. The irradiance levels increased three-fold while leaf to air vapour pressure def...

Despite massive efforts by regional governments and partners in the East and Central African region towards fighting Xanthomonas Wilt of banana, the disease is reported to continue to spread to new areas and resurge in others it had been contained. The use of asymptomatic but infectious plants is...

The Banana 2008 Conference held in Mombasa, Kenya, provided the opportunity for developing a strategy to help propel the banana industry as an important engine of growth in Africa. It was attended by more than 300 participants from the research and development arena, the private sector, and the b...

Genetic diversity and relationships were assessed in 28 accessions of Musa acuminata (AA) Colla and Musa balbisiana (BB) Colla, and some of their natural hybrids, using the amplified fragment length poly-morphisms (AFLP) technique. Fifteen AFLP +3 primer pairs produced 527 polymorphic bands among...

Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, is one of the most important diseases of banana (Musa sp.) and currently considered as the biggest threat to banana production in Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa. The pathogen is highly contagious and it...
