Sumario:Banana is an important food crop cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world. With the recent advances in genomics, a new powerful tool was developed enabling the fine-scale characterization of banana’s ancestry along chromosomes, i.e. chromosome painting. This catalogue, although not exhaustive, aims at providing an efficient tool to support the banana research and worker community in the classification of cultivars. It can be used as a tool to support the management of banana collections, which is a much faster way to classify them than with morphological characterization.
