Conteúdo: | The plantain and Banana Improvement program (PBIP) and the East and Southern Africa Regional Center of the International Institute of tropical Agriculture (IITA) are developing improved plantain  (Musa spp., AABgroup) and banana (Musa spp., AAA and ABB groups) germplasm with pest and disease resistance, high and stable yield, and good fruit quality (Vuylsteke et al., 1993a). The first crosses between triploid plantains and diploid bananas (Musa acuminata Colla.) were made in 1987, targeting the incorporation of host-plant resistance to the black sigatoka disease caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. Black sigatoka is an airborne fungal leaf spot that results in one-third loss of yield in plantain (Mobambo et al 1993). Currently, all evaluated plantains are equally susceptible to black sigatoka leaf spot.
