Bananas and plantains: toward sustainable global production and improved uses: abstracts. [Montepellier.]: [Bioversity International, 2011. p. 49.c2011  aThe germination of banana seeds is one of several drawbacks in genetic breeding. Besides extreme variability under artificial conditions, germination can be affected by many features, including seed physiological maturity, intensity of disinfection treatment, culture media composition and size, type and morphological aspects of embryos. Seeds from the banana genetic breeding program at Embrapa Cassava & Fruits were studied in order to assess the influence of the parents on the germination rate and the occurrence of abnormalities in embryo structure.  acrossing  ain vitro culture  aBanana  aMusa spp  aZygotic embryo1 aCARVALHO, H.
