What makes a banana false? How the genome of Ethiopian orphan staple <i>Ensete ventricosum</i> differs from the banana A and B sub-genomes

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Ensete ventricosum , also known as the “tree against hunger” plays a key role in Ethiopian food security and farming systems, feeding more than 20 million people. Since domestication via clonal selection in the south-west Ethiopian highlands, today’s diverse enset landraces contribute multiple benefits including food, fibre by-product, animal bedding and cattle fodder to farmers and local comm...
