Bunch stalk feeding of urea in banana Musa (AAB group) ‘Nendran’
Scientia Horticulturae, 2000Abstract The influence of urea feeding at the cut bunch stalk end of the rachis of banana was studied in tissue culture plants of ‘Nendran’ banana having uniform sized bunches. A preliminary study for standardising the dose of urea showed the superiority of placing 30 g urea on two-week-old bunches.

Phenotypic variation among in-vitro propagated plantain (Musa sp. cultivar ‘AAB’)
Scientia Horticulturae, 1988Abstract In-vitro micropropagated plantain (Musa sp. cultivar ‘AAB’) plants were regenerated from meristem cultures and screened in the field for phenotypic variability. Observations of the plant crop and the successive ratoon indicated five different forms of phenotypic variation at a frequency of 6%. Inflorescence variants were of the “French” and ‘

Inheritance of dwarfism in plantain (Musa spp., AAB group)
Plant Breeding, 1995AbstractPlantain (Musa spp., AAB group) is a major food crop in the humid lowland tropics of Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. Lodging, caused by strong winds occurs periodically in these areas. Therefore, development of dwarf plantain cultivars and elucidation of the inheritance of dwarfism is desirable. A heterozygous normal plantain cultivar (

Effect of blanching and ripening on functional properties of plantain (Musa aab) flour
Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 1999Flours were prepared from raw and blanched samples of unripe and ripe mature plantain Musa aab and examined for their proximate composition, physical characteristics and functional properties. The plantain flours contained 3.5 g crude protein, 2.5-3.5 g crude fat, 5.7-7.1 g moisture, 1.33-2.0 g crude fiber, 1.66-2.0 g ash, and 82.25-86.07 g ...
