Conteúdo: 	Bananas os one of the top five or six crops of importance in feeding the worlds population, but at teh very bottom among the most important crops in terms of research funds invested to date (and very probably in the foreseeable  future) in terms of biotechnology and related science disciplines. What is the importance of this. Principally:  biotechonology is not a free-standing science. It is derived from crop breding, physiology, genetics, etc. The fastest biotechnology progress will como in crops where is sustantial investment in the total range of scientific disciplines. I believe banana  improvement by biotechnology is going  to be forced to follow the  lead of what is being done in other crops, since that is simply where most of the investment is being made. These crops are, in order:Zea mays, tomato, soybena, rice, oilseed rape, and wheat, cotton, amd various vegetables bringing up the end. If you want to determine where biotechnology will have an impact on banana improvement, first study what is being done in these crops.
