Biotechnological approaches to plantain and banana improvement at IITA
Plantains and bananas are an important staple food crop in developing countries. Genetic improvement programmes have been spurred by the rapid spread of black sigatoka disease, but the genus Musa is intractable in terms of conventional breeding strategies. The potential ofbiotechnology in banana and...
