Abstract excerpt
Breeding disease-resistant cultivars that meet commercial criteria is essential to sustain banana production threatened by major diseases. Edible bananas are seedless triploid hybrids that represent end-breeding products. Hence, the crucial step in banana breeding is to improve and combine the parents. Currently, little information is available on parental combining abilities and on the inheritance of major...
