Segregation at microsatellite loci in haploid and diploid gametes of Musa
TL;DR: Analysis of the paternal diploid banana accession and its selfed progeny suggests that this accession is highly heterozygous, and data indicate that microsatellite markers are well suited for marker-assisted selection systems in Musa.

TL;DR: The physical sites of 18S-5.8S-25S and 5S rRNA genes and telomeric sequences in the MusaL genome were localized by fluorescentin situhybridization on mitotic chromosomes of selected lines indicating variation in the number of copies.

TL;DR: Water use efficiency varies substantially between crops, for example, to produce 1 kg of grain on average requires 900 liters for wheat (Triticum spp.), 1400 liters of maize (Zea mays) and 1900 liters in rice (Oriza sativa) as mentioned in this paper.
Comparison of DNA marker and pedigree-based methods of genetic analysis in plantain and banana (Musa spp.) clones. II. Predicting hybrid performance
TL;DR: Pedigree and DNA marker-based methods were used to predict the performance of triploid progeny from tetraploid-diploid crosses, based on parental heterozygosity, genetic relatedness, and expected contribution to their progeny.

The Efficiency of Natural and Artificial Pollinators in Plantain (Musaspp. AAB group) Hybridization and Seed Production
TL;DR: Natural open pollination of tetraploid Musa hybrids consistently generates viable seed, and the mean germination rate of such open pollinated seed was observed to be higher than that of seed generated from artificial pollinations.
