Application of Pollen Germination Media on Stigmas during Pollination Increases Seed Set in East African Highland Cooking Bananas (Musa spp.)
Waniale, Allan; Swennen, Rony; Mukasa, Settumba B.; Tugume, Arthur K.; Kubiriba, Jerome; Tushemereirwe, Wilberforce K.; Amah, Delphine; Tumuhimbise, Robooni (Agronomy, 2021-05-27)Seed set in East African Highland Cooking bananas (EAHBs) is extremely low and therefore hampers breeding. Pollen–pistil interaction is a key contributing factor. We assessed the effect of pollen germination media (PGM) ... -
Use of timelapse photography to determine flower opening time and pattern in banana (Musa spp.) for efficient hand pollination
Waniale, Allan; Swennen, Rony; Mukasa, Settumba B.; Tugume, Arthur K.; Kubiriba, Jerome; Tushemereirwe, Wilberforce K.; Uwimana, Brigitte; Gram, Gil; Amah, Delphine; Tumuhimbise, Robooni (Scientific Reports, 2021)Sterility and low seed set in bananas is the main challenge to their conventional genetic improvement. The first step to seed set in a banana breeding program depends on pollination at the right time to ensure effective ...
