Despite considerable efforts of Musa improvement programmes, banana and plantain production still depends upon a limited number of landraces selected by man from the natural germplasm. Inability to replace land-races by cultivars obtained through cross-breeding creates the increased risk of epide...

Autor: Ortiz, R.

The triploid nature of plantain and its pattern of inheritance should have represented a challenge and an incentive for geneticists. However, few genetic and cytological investigations have been done in Musa spp. Both banana and plantain have been ignored and neglected as material for basic genet...

Perennial horticultural crop production is sensitive to temperature, water availability, solar radiation, air pollution, and CO2. The value of perennial horticultural crops is derived from not only the quantity but also the quality of the harvested product. Perennial crop production is not easily...

For a mixture of reasons certain tropical crops which are important as primary or secondary food staples are relatively underresearched. The modem tools of molecular and cellular biotechnology offer the opportunity not only to make substantial gains in our knowledge of these crops, but also to ov...

Plantains and bananas are an important staple food crop in developing countries. Genetic improvement programmes have been spurred by the rapid spread of black sigatoka disease, but the genus Musa is intractable in terms of conventional breeding strategies. The potential ofbiotechnology in banana ...
