Screening of Mchare Banana mutants for Fusarium wilt (Foc 1) resistance

Mchare (AA) cooking bananas are a vital food and income-generating crop to people in northern Tanzania, its neighbouring countries and islands off the east coast of Africa. They are a distinct group of AA diploid bananas. Mchare production is, however, constrained by various pests and diseases, including Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc race 1). Conventional breeding is slow due to the long life cycle, sterility and large plant size of bananas. The aim of this study is to develop Mchare bananas resistant to Foc race 1 via mutation breeding. The objective is the field screening of the mutant population for Foc race 1 resistance.
