Abstract:The genome size variation is an important attribute in evolutionary and species characterization. Musa L. is regarded as one of the taxonomically complicated genera within the order Zingiberales, with more than 75 species from wild seeded to seedless cultivars that may be diploid, triploid or tetraploid. The knowledge of total nuclear DNA content in terms of genome size and ploidy level in wild species of Musa is absolutely important in evolutionary and genomic studies. Methods: In this paper, chromosome sprea… Show more
