Conteúdo: | Like so many crops of relative importance in human diets, bananas and plantains have not been studied as much as they deserve. In particular, much of what is known about their natural history, genetics, and evolution is limited to the contributions of comparatively few researchers since the beginning of the century. Thus, while many of the cytotaxonomic riddles of the genus Musa have been elegantly unravelled (Simmonds 1962, and references thereof), there is almost no knowledge of the genetics of any of its taxa, let alone of their population genetics and the minutiae of their reproductive biology. Modern banana breeding has suffered substantially from this situation, and progress has been rather slow in breeding clones that fulfill current breeding objectivessuch as resistance to major diseases (Buddenhagen 1993; Rowe, Rosales 1993). Even when some of the objectives have been attained, it is typical, if not unfortunate, that the agronomic characters of the new clones are not as good as the most widely grown triploid varieties. It seems therefore imperative that more knowledge be gained about the banana genome in general, in order to facilitate its manipulation and thus contribute to giving new impetus to current breeding practices and helping developnovel improvement strategies, especially at the diploid level.
