Plantain (Musa spp., AAB group) is a staple food crop in the humid forest regions of West and Central Africa. Its cultivation is threatened by black leaf streak (BLS), an air‐borne fungal leaf spot disease, caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. An on‐farm survey for BLS severity in relation...

This book provides important information resulting from a lifetime dedicated to banana research. Ken Shepherd has not only devoted his life to studying bananas, but has focused on an area much neglected by other researchers, Musa cytology. The publishing of this book is especially timely given th...
The triploid genome of plantain (Musa spp., AA group) has been considered intractable to genetic improvement because of the production of putatively homogeneous 2n (= 3.r) gametes. Plantain breeding schemes have been based on the hybridization of 2n megaspores from the triploid plantain and haplo...

Bunch orientation is an economically important trait in plantain ( Musa spp. AAB group) and banana ( Musa spp. AAA or ABB groups). Pendulous bunches are more symmetrical than subhorizontal, horizontal, or erect bunches and are, therefore, better adapted for transportation. Erect, horizontal, subh...
