The genetic homogeneity of Uganda's East African Highland bananas does not match the extensive morphological variation identified in this group

2023-10-05

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>The East African Highland banana (EAHB) is a triploid (AAA) group of about 120 cooking and beer banana varieties that are adapted to the high altitudes of the Great Lakes region of East Africa. Banana production is affected by several biotic and abiotic factors. Breeding opportunities in bananas are limited due to female sterility and parthenocarpy. The genetic diversity of crops enable...
