Phylogenomics identifies parents of naturally occurring tetraploid bananas.

Background: Triploid bananas are almost sterile. However, we succeeded in harvesting seeds from two edible triploid banana individuals (Genotype: ABB) in our conservation repository where various wild diploid bananas were also grown. The resulting rare offspring survived to seedling stages.

Reassessing Banana Phylogeny and Organelle Inheritance Modes Using Genome Skimming Data.

Bananas ( spp.) are some of the most important fruit crops in the world, contributing up to US$10 billion in export values annually. In this study, we use high-throughput sequencing to obtain genomic resources of high-copy DNA molecules in bananas.
