Abstract
Most banana cultivars are susceptible to many diseases, whereas Sigatoka leads to greatest yield losses. One of the strategies to overcome this disease is thorough banana genetic breeding which consists in the obtainment of improved (AA) diploids which are then crossed with triploids obtaining (AAAB) tetraploid disease resistant bananas also presenting other important agronomic characteristics. The prior knowledge of the genetic diversity of (AA) diploids, is therefore considered indispensable in order to direct the crosses being made. The objective of the present work was to analyze the genetic diversity of 20 (AA) banana diploids with contrasting levels of reaction to yellow and black Sigatoka caused by Mycosphaerella musicola and M. fijensis, respectively, using molecular markers. From the dendrogram data it is shown that a great number of experimental hybrids can be obtained from the combination of genetically different diploids, therefore making the banana genetic breeding program more efficient regarding its objectives.
Highlights
Mainly on the improvement of (AA) diploids and subsequent crosses with AAB triploids Prata and Silk
The banana genetic breeding program, initiated at the samples standardized to the concentration of 10
The genetic dissimilarity estimations were obtained by the Nei Li index and the groups observed by the dendrogram analysis (Fig. 1)
Summary
Mainly on the improvement of (AA) diploids and subsequent crosses with AAB triploids Prata and Silk. The cultivated and that present fertile male and/or fertile female gametes, varieties can present different genomic combinations: obtaining improved diploid hybrids[4]. The use of molecular markers in the study of and ABBB, diploids, tripods and tetraploids, depending genetic diversity of banana diploids amply found in the on the basic number of chromosomes, two, three or literature[5,6,7,8,9].
