“…Male fl owers were collected during anthesis and were used for manual cross-pollination, when pollen was distributed on the stigma surface. Pollen was collected during anthesis to ensure the normal development of the pollen tube and uniform growth, since pollen grains collected hours or days after anthesis tend to have reduced viability (TANGMITCHAROEN & OWENS, 1997). Depending on the quantity of pollen grains, one male fl ower was used to pollinate 3 to 4 female fl owers.…”

“…However, many of these cultivars present not only female sterility but are also susceptible to leaf diseases and pests that can seriously affect yield (SSEBULIBA et al, 2006 Hence, genetic improvement is important to obtain resistant and marketable varieties.…”

“…Although the production of seeds in most cultivated varieties is either not possible or difficult and rare, in specialised breeding work some varieties can be forced to produce seeds (Section VI) (Stover and Simmonds, 1987; Tomekpé et al, 2004;Ssebuliba et al, 2006b). For example, 0-183 and 0-219 seeds per bunch have resulted from pollinating triploid plantains (AAB) with the pollen from diploid bananas (AA) (respectively Tomekpé et al, 2000, and Vuylsteke, 1993).…”

“…However, its commercial application is limited (Pegg et al, 1993). The use of resistant cultivars is the best alternative for controlling FOC and conventional banana breeding for FOC resistance has been actively reported (Rowe and Rosales, 1993;Tomekpe et al, 2004;Sebuliba et al, 2006). Technically, it faces the problems of flower sterility and ploidy of commercial cultivars (Roux et al, 2004).…”
