Default Banana domestication
Hi All,

bit of a science question here.

i was wondering what polyploid hybrids are. From what I gather. We've moved from diploids to edible diploids to triploids through meiotic restitution. then to tetratriploids.

how do polyploids come into banana domestication over the last 7000 years?

thanks!
