Abstract

Developing basic genomic tools to assist germplasm exploitation is important for Musa (banana), especially in the context of the use of Musa genomic diversity. Moreover, it is also a top priority in the vision of the whole genome sequencing. The initiation of genomic sequencing to identify genes will allow exploitation of breeding-relevant genetic variation within Musa. The GCP has promoted the development of publicly available, well-characterized genomic resources in order to integrate them with ongoing, trait-based research in Musa.
