Differential growth and transpiration responses among banana (Musa spp.) hybrids - hope for breeding drought tolerant bananas?

2025-04-18

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity in East African highland bananas (EAHB, Musa spp.) is very limited and relies on frequent somatic and/ or epigenetic mutations and continuous farmer selections. Considering the market demand and the drought-sensitive nature of EAHBs, it is crucial to improve the resilience of these endemic banana varieties to future environmental conditions through breeding. This study aimed to determine the imp...
