METHOD FOR BREEDING BANANA PLANT BY GAMMA RAY AND DOUBLING TREATMENT METHOD

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recover the fertilities of male and female reproductive function-lost bananas. PSOLUTION: It was succeeded to obtain the hexaploid of edible banana from its triploid by the irradiation of gamma rays and by a double treatment. It was found that the hexaploid produces fertile pollen in a high yield and enables the harvest of fruition seeds between the hexaploid and a diploid. Thereby, a method for artificially hybridizing and breeding food banana was provided, and the improvement in the breed of the food banana becames possible. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
