DEBDOM: Database Exploring Banana Diversity of Manipur

Abstract

Being poor man's apple, banana has a wide popularity worldwide. It's one of the important horticultural crops used irrespective of rich and poor alike. Manipur along with the other states of Northeast India harboured with plenty of wild and cultivated species of banana that are not fully explored. A data base named DEBDOM has been developed here describing the diversity of banana resources of Manipur and it comprises twenty eight genotypes of Musaceae. The database DEBDOM provides a sophisticated web base access to the details of the taxonomy, morphological characteristics, utility as well as sites of collection of Musa genotypes, and it would have contribute as a potential gene pool sources for the conservation, sustainability as well as for crop improvement in the future breeding programmes.Availabilityhttp://ibsd.gov.in/debdom/

Development of Digital Repository and Retrieval System for Rose Germplasm Management

“…Germplasm database based on phenotypic descriptors and SSR molecular markers analysis has been developed for the plum germplasm resources in Romania (Harta et al , 2016). A database compr ising of 28 genotypes of Musaceaehas been developed for the banana resources of Manipur (Singh et al, 2013). This database provides access to the details of taxonomy, morphological characters, utility and sites of collection of Musa genotypes.…”

Development of Digital Repository and Retrieval System for Rose Germplasm Management

“…Numerous germplasm databases have been developed by various researchers namely, Horry et al (2002) in pineapple; Rajagopal et al (2005) in coconut; Upadhyaya et al (2007) in pearl millet; Savita and Hussain (2009) in soybean; Singh et al (2013) in banana; Praveen et al (2015) in sugarcane.…”
