“…A rapid and reliable method for species and cultivar recognition is vital to certify the fruits and plantlets of Musa sp. and to preserve banana germplasm resources [ 9 ]. To our knowledge, this is the first report wherein DNA barcoding has been employed in the identification of different species and cultivars of Musa using a large sample size.…”

Background The banana (Musa sp., AAA) genome is constantly increasing due to high-frequency of somaclonal variations. Due to its large diversity, a conventional numerical and morphological based taxonomic identification of banana cultivars is laborious, difficult and often leads to subject of disagreements. Results Hence, in the present study, we used universal DNA barcode ITS2 region to identify and to find the genetic relationship between the cultivars and varieties of banana. Herein, a total of 16 banana cultivars were PCR amplified using ITS2 primer pair. In addition, 321 sequences which were retrieved from GenBank, USA, were used in this study. The sequences were then aligned using Clustal W and genetic distances were computed using MEGA V5.1. The study showed significant divergence between the intra- and inter-specific genetic distances in ITS2 region. BLAST1 and Distance methods proved that ITS2 DNA barcode region successfully identified and distinguished the cultivar and varieties of banana. Conclusion Thus, from the results of the present study, it is clear that ITS2 is not only an efficient DNA barcode to identify the banana species but also a potential candidate for enumerating the phylogenetic relationships between the subspecies and cultivars. This is the first comprehensive study to categorically distinguish the economically important banana subspecies and varieties using DNA barcodes and to understand its evolutionary relationship.

“…simmonds was misidentified as M. nagensium and was provided with the photograph of the former. It was subsequently rediscovered and detailed description was provided by both [ 9 , 10 ]. Similarly, there was a misidentification of a species with AAA genome, which showed similarity to ABB genome [ 8 ].…”

“…Musa aurantiaca Baker (Musaceae) is commonly found growing in northeast India, Tibet and Northern Myanmar. Several studies of the Musaceae in India have recently been carried out by (Cheesman 1947;Simmonds, 1960;Hore et al, 1992, Singh et al, 2001Häkkinen and Sharrock, 2002;Uma 2006, Uma et al, 2005, 2006Gogoi, 2013;Gogoi and Rabha, 2013;Gogoi and Borah, 2013;Gogoi and Häkkinen, 2013a, b;Häkkinen et al, 2014;Joe et al, 2014;Kothareddy et al, 2013;Sabu et al, 2013;. However, none of these studies specifically highlight the extensive diversity of Musa aurantiaca in Nagaland.…”

This study focuses on Musa aurantiaca Baker (Musaceae), a Musa species found in Northeast India, Tibet, and Northern Myanmar. The research was conducted at the School of Agricultural Sciences (SAS), Nagaland University, to examine the morphology of the species and explore its genetic diversity in Nagaland. Through a comprehensive analysis, this study sheds light on the diverse attributes of Musa aurantiaca, providing valuable insights into its morphology and genetic composition in the Nagaland region. The findings contribute to the knowledge and conservation efforts of this species, highlighting its importance for biodiversity conservation and potential utilization in various applications. These findings have implications for further research, conservation strategies, and the sustainable utilization of this valuable plant species.

“…"The possible genomic groups for bananas include; AA, BB, AB, AAA, AAB, ABB AABB, AAAB and ABBB" [5]. "Among AAB triploids, there are 11 subgroups" as reported by Uma et.al, [6]. Many banana cultivars with ABB genomes, such as 'Kluai Tip Yai', 'Kluai Hak Muk', and 'Kluai Nam Wa,' are grown in Thailand [7].…”

Banana is one of the most important staple food around tropics. Bananas can be eaten as green when it is starchy. These crops are the most important components for food security around world by providing income to the farming community through local trade. This experiment was conducted to study the rachis behaviour and male bud characteristics of ABB genomic group and AAB genomic group banana cultivars. Here 5 cultivars under ABB genomic group (Behula, Bara Beglo, Bluggoe, Green Bombay, Pantharaj) and 5 cultivars of AAB genomic group (Dudhsagar, Martaman, Manohar, Desi Malbhog, Kalibhog) were observed. All of these 10 cultivars showed different characteristics in case of male bud, like male bud shape, male bud size, colour of the bract (external face), male bract lifting, wax on the bract, male flower behaviour, compound tepal basic colour, anther colour, stigma colour, ovary shape and dominant colour of male flower, all these were explained in details in this study.
