Yield and disease resistance of plantain (Musa spp., AAB group) somaclones in Nigeria.

2002-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This study examined the potential of somaclonal variation for the improvement of plantain. Approximately 500 somaclones each of `Agbagba' (False Horn plantain) and `Bise Egome' (French plantain) were field evaluated for their agronomic performance and response to the black Sigatoka disease. The micropropagated populations were independently generated from a number of suckers from each accession. Significant differ...
