When pollinating a banana cultivar there are many factors that affect the amount of seeds that are produced and because compatibility is a factor different males will have an affect on many things. I've only been breeding bananas for a few years and even though I've created a few thousand new varieties most of those were with using the Blue Java as the female parent. My focus has mainly been with Plantains and very little effort with the Manini. One interesting thing I've noticed with the Manini, and to be clear this only covers my personal experiences, all the seeds have been located at the distal end.
