Pilot study to screen alleles under selection related to drought tolerance in banana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/148920
Abstract
In banana, most of the edible cultivars are hybrids from one or both major wild diploid ancestors:
Musa acuminata (A genome, 2n=2x=22) and Musa balbisiana (B genome, 2n=2x=22). These cultivars have
been assigned to different genomic groups according to the number of chromosomes sets (subgenomes) and
the species that donated them, e.g. AAA, AAB and ABB (2n=3x = 33). Variability in subgenome
