“…Another wild species, M. itinerans, ubiquitous from NE India in the west to Taiwan in the east (Häkkinen et al 2008) is morphologically a very distinct species with characteristic long rhizomes, which was, however, not reflected by the cluster analysis. Indeed, the three representatives of this species were scattered over the dendrogram instead of being grouped in one block (black boxes on Fig.…”

Bananas (Musa spp.) are one of the main fruit crops grown worldwide. With the annual production reaching 144 million tons, their production represents an important contribution to the economies of many countries in Asia, Africa, Latin-America and Pacific Islands. Most importantly, bananas are a staple food for millions of people living in the tropics. Unfortunately, sustainable banana production is endangered by various diseases and pests, and the breeding for resistant cultivars relies on a far too small base of genetic variation. Greater diversity needs to be incorporated in breeding, especially of wild species. Such work requires a large and thoroughly characterized germplasm collection, which also is a safe depository of genetic diversity. The largest ex situ Musa germplasm collection is kept at the International Transit Centre (ITC) in Leuven (Belgium) and currently comprises

“…Six varieties of M. borneensis have been described before, namely: var. alutacea, borneensis, flavida, lutea, phoenica and sarawakensis (Häkkinen & Meekiong, 2005). The discovery of Musa borneensis that growing wildly in Sulawesi enlarge the distribution area and automatically rejected the endemic status of this species.…”

SULISTYANINGSIH, L. D. 2016. Newly described and newly recorded of infraspecific taxa of Musa borneensis Becc. (Musaceae) from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Reinwardtia 16 (1): 19 - 24. - A new variety of Musa borneensis, M. borneensis var. donggalaensis Sulis. is proposed based upon specimens from Donggala, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Endemic status of M. borneensis was rejected. The description, distribution map and the identification key are provided.
