“…A third type of flower called hermaphrodite, or neutral, can be found on the stem of the female flowers and the male buds. Generally, they do not grow into a fruit and their stamen does not produce pollen [14].…”

Worldwide, the banana is the most famous fruit on the market. All parts of the plant have been used over the years in medicine and the curative properties of the banana are well known. No reports about the study of the nectar of banana flowers could be find, except those on extracts from different parts of the plant, this being the reason of starting synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the banana flower's nectar. Because conventional methods for producing NPs are expensive, toxic and nonorganic in this study it was used natural sources for NPs synthesis (green synthesis). The AgNPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies.

“…The genus Musa comprises about 70 species (Simmonds, Weatherup, 1990;De Langhe, 2000;Wu, Kress, 2000;Wong et al, 2002;Häkkinen, Väre, 2008;Häkkinen, 2009Häkkinen, , 2013Lý et al, 2012). Despite rather knowledge of the genus, some new species have been recently discovered (Lý et al, 2012, Singh, 2014. In 1987 banana sample with clear morphological distinction from the other species was found in China (Zhu, 1987).…”

In this article, we research the phylogenetic position of the rare endemic banana, Musa huangbaioa, which was described only in Chinese journal in 1987. This banana was found at the foot of the Mount Emei in Sichuan Province and has remarkable morphological features, e. g., undulated petiole margins, ribbed fruits and irregular form of the seeds, which are rather unusual in the genus and distinguish it from all other species. In addition, due to its uncertain affinity, we researched the position of M. huangbaioa in the Musaceae family with the aid of molecular phylogenetic analysis of two marker sequences, nrITS and trnL–trnF. We found that this species belongs to the large and rather complicated group of Chinese bananas, M. basjoo–M. itinerans clade. According to the ITS data, M. huangbaioa is monophyletic with one M. basjoo specimen that was cultivated in Central America. Probably, this fact represents that this species can be modern hybrid with one of the genomes inherited from M. basjoo s. l. The whole group M. basjoo–M. itinerans, which M. huangbaioa belongs to, is well separated within the sect. Musa and could be prone to frequent hybridizations in the natural environment; it requires an additional research for more precise differentiation of the group.
