Studies on Pollination in Musaceae
Annals of Botany, 1976Observations and experiments on several species of Musaceae in West Java and Central Sumatra showed that the species with pendent inflorescences are pollinated by macroglossine bats, principally by the long-tongued fruit bats, Macroglossus minimus and Eonycteris spelaea. Among the species with an erect inflorescence M.

Some Implications of Leaf Tearing in Musaceae
Ecology, 1972Leaf temperatures associated with torn and untorn leaves of Musaceae were taken in both dry and wet seasons at Barro Colorado Island, Canal Zone. Transpiration rates and leaf resistance to water—vapor diffusion were determined. Energy—budget analysis is used to describe the relationship of leaf dimension and leaf resistance to thermal survival and ...

Lectotypification of Musa livingstoniana (Musaceae)
Kew Bulletin, 2014Kirk’s original field sketch and notes and two seed collections, which together form the “original material” on which the description of Musa livingstoniana J. Kirk was based, have been located at Kew. The field drawing and accompanying notes are published for the first time. M. livingstoniana is lectotypified, and Ensete livingstonianum confirmed over

The chromosome number of Heliconia (Musaceae)
Nordic Journal of Botany, 1984The chromosome number 2n = 24 was determined in 31 taxa of Heliconia , representing nearly the entire morphological spectrum of the genus. The karyotype is a graded series of rather small chromosomes ranging between 0.7 and 1.7 urn. One pair has satellites.

An anatomical approach to the classification of the Musaceae.
Journal of the Linnean Society of London, Botany, 1959SUMMARY The morphology and existing schemes of classification of the genera of Musaceae have been summarized. The anatomy of the vegetative organs of each genus has been described. The following taxonomic conclusions are suggested by the anatomical results: (i) Orchidantha is anatomically quite distinct from other members of the group and its

The occurrence of a micropylar exudate in Musa and Enset (Musaceae)
Scientia Horticulturae, 2005Abstract Wild bananas are diploid while most cultivated varieties are triploid. Triploidy leads to sterility that has a number of causes, but in Musa a micropylar exudate is not listed amongst them. We examined ovules of seeded diploid Musa acuminata (AA) and edible triploids (AAA) from the same cytogenetic groups (AAB, ABB) and the related genus ...

Wild Vegetables of the Family Musaceae
The Musaceae family, also known as the banana family, has unique morphological characteristics such as large herbaceous growth, pseudo stem, large elongated leaves with prominent midrib and entire margin, berry fruits, and spadix inflorescence covered with spathe. It consists of 6 genera and 130 species (Qamar and Shaikh 2011).Ganesh Chandrakant Nikalje +3 more
