Prospects for breeding agronomically superior Musa with resistance or tolerance to BSV
The genetic improvement of banana and plantain has focused on breeding for resistance to black sigatoka. This has been quite successful, but the distribution of improved hybrids has been impeded by the outbvreak of Banana streak virus (BSV). Integration of viral sequences in Musa genomes make it dif...
