• We used genome-wide SNPs generated for 154 diploid banana cultivars and 68 samples of the wild M. acuminata to estimate and geo-localize the contribution of the different subspecies of M. acuminata to cultivated banana. (frontiersin.org)
  • Our results shed new lights on the radiation of M. acuminata subspecies and on how they shaped banana domestication. (frontiersin.org)
  • Musa acuminata is highly variable and the number of subspecies accepted can vary from six to nine between different authorities. (wikipedia.org)
  • Many of the modern edible dessert bananas are from this species, although some are hybrids with Musa balbisiana. (wikipedia.org)
  • Colla also was the first authority to recognize that both Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana were wild ancestral species, even though the specimen he described was a naturally occurring seedless polyploid like cultivated bananas. (wikipedia.org)
  • We found high levels of admixture in many cultivars and confirmed the existence of unknown wild ancestors with unequal contributions to cultivated diploid. (frontiersin.org)
  • Wild M. acuminata is diploid with 2n=2x=22 chromosomes, while cultivated varieties (cultivars) are mostly triploid (2n=3x=33) and parthenocarpic, meaning producing fruit without seeds. (wikipedia.org)
  • Although other authorities have published various names for this species and its hybrids mistaken for different species (notably Musa sapientum by Linnaeus which is now known to be a hybrid of M. acuminata and Musa balbisiana), Colla's publication is the oldest name for the species and thus has precedence over the others from the rules of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. (wikipedia.org)
  • The seeds of wild M. acuminata are around 5 to 6 mm (3⁄16 to 1⁄4 in) in diameter. (wikipedia.org)
  • A total of 38 triploid EAHB accessions available in the Musa germplasm collection (International Transit Centre, Leuven, Belgium) were characterized. (cas.cz)
  • Six diploid accessions of Musa acuminata ssp. (cas.cz)
  • Musa acuminata is a species of banana native to Southern Asia, its range comprising the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. (wikipedia.org)

  • cubense race 4 in Musa species, with a focus on the subtropical race 4. (qld.gov.au)
  • Musa acuminata is classified by botanists as an herbaceous plant and an evergreen and a perennial, but not as a tree. (wikipedia.org)
