Genotype By sequencing (GBS) dervied SNPs in Musa acuminata x Musa balbisiana F1 population
Bananas and plantains are highly susceptible to drought and may lead to yield reductions of up to 65%. Musa balbisiana harbors many biotic and abiotic stress-tolerant characteristics and there is urgent need to integrate B-genomic regions into cultivars for various stress resistance, nutrition, and vigor characteristics in the new banana varieties. With the above objective GBS technology was applied to obtain SNPs on a unique population developed which was obtained crossing Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. Here, in the current submission we deposit the SNPs identified in the mentioned population (AAxBB).
