Improvement of plantain, Musa spp. using mutation breeding techniques

Abstract

Tissue culture regenerated plants of `Apantu` and `Asamienu` varieties of plantain were acutely irradiated using gamma rays at 0,30 and 40 Gy, rooted in soil, and transferred to a field for agronomic evaluation and selection. A proposal to select dwarf mutants is reported. (author). 4 refs, 1 tab.
