Ploidy manipulations and genetic markers as tools for analysis of quantitative trait variation in progeny derived from triploid plantains
Plantains (Musa spp. AAB group) are starchy bananas widely grown in Africa and tropical America by small landholders. Genetic analysis of the plantain genome is difficult due to its triploidy and high sterility. Ploidy manipulations (scaling up and down the number of chromosomes) and interspecific p...
