Domestication, genomics and the future for banana.

Annals of botany - 1 Nov 2007

Heslop-Harrison J S, Schwarzacher Trude

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cultivated bananas and plantains are giant herbaceous plants within the genus Musa. They are both sterile and parthenocarpic so the fruit develops without seed. The cultivated hybrids and species are mostly triploid (2n = 3x = 33; a few are diploid or tetraploid), and most have been propagated from mutants found in the wild. With a production of 100 million tons annually, banana is a staple food...
