Turner, D.W.Gibbs, D.J.Ocimati, W.Blomme, Guy[The suckering behaviour of plantains (Musa, AAB) can be viewed as part of an evolved reproductive strategy]The suckering behaviour of plantains (Musa, AAB) can be viewed as part of an evolved reproductive strategy

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Unlike in developed countries, where the main source of vitamin A comes from meat, the diet of poor populations in SSA is largely plant based. It is thus important to identify local / popular plants with higher vitamin A conten...

Between 1991 to 1996, more than 50 Musa hybrids and 10 landraces were evaluated under field and screenhouse conditions for virus symptoms resembling those caused by banana streak badnavirus (BSV). The symptoms included chlorotic streaks, leaf deformation, stunting, cigar leaf death, distortion of...

Bananas and plantains (Musa sp.) are the most important staple food and source of carbohydrates in many countries of Africa. The production is often constrained by many pests and diseases. In order to augment conventional breeding and to avoid constraints imposed by some pests and pathogens, tran...

The effects of Radopholus similis and Pratylenchus goodeyi on growth, root health and yield of the East African highland cooking banana cultivar Mbwazirume (Musa AAA-group) were compared at Mbarara, Uganda, at 1430 m above sea level. In 3-year-old mats infected only with P. goodeyi, functional ro...

Vroh Bi, Irie[Clean seed systems: sustainable production and distribution of clean banana and plantain]Clean seed systems: sustainable production and distribution of clean banana and plantain

Banana and plantain (Musa spp.) are major staple foods and a source of income for millions in tropical and subtropical regions. Most of the bananas and plantains grown worldwide are produced by small-scale farmers for home consumption or sale in local and regional markets. Many pests and diseases...

The influence of some edaphic factors (soil moisture and organic matter) on plantain susceptibility to Radopholus similis was studied on cultivar Agbagba in a shade house. Densities of R. similis increased with increasing soil moisture level and were highest at field capacity revealing that at th...

Plantain is one of the most important sources of food in the African lowlands stretching from the lowlands of Guinea and Liberia to the central basin of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). Because plantain cultivars do not produce seeds, plantain cultivation is based on vegetatively tran...

This work focused on the morphological characterization of plantain cultivars collected in the period 2005–2014 in 280 villages across 9 provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. These cultivars were established in two field collections at the University of Kisangani.Existing descriptors wer...
