Conteúdo: 	The genetic system of Musa is extremely complicated to study because of the serious problems of sterility, interspecific hybridity, heterozygosity, and polyploidy that are common in most of the clones. The asexual behavior is often an inseparable barrier in using cross-breeding as a tool for genetic improvement. Consequently, to date, the breeding of bananas and plantains having desirable characters and acceptability at the farmers' level has been without much sucess. Therefore, the complexity of Musa genetics needs a more sophisticated system to support conventional breeding programs, and prospects of using potentials of biotechnology in this crop are very high (Persley, De Langhe 1987; Dale 1990; Novak 1992). This report describes the results of developmentof the following systems of Musa biotechnology: (a) in-vitro nutation induction; (b) cell (protoplast) culture and somatic embryogenesis; (c) markers of genetic diversity; (d) in-vitro screening and selection for resistance against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense and Mycosphaerella fijiensis.
