Re: Musa velutina seeds wanted

Hi Sam,
I was able to get some seeds supplied by Gabe, and I attempted embryo rescue on them and wasn't able to get a single seed to germinate in-vitro. I found a plant with what appeared to be...

Re: legal tetraploids for cross breeding?

The issue that's confusing is the common misconception equating seedlessness (parthenocarpy) with being triploid. The two are actually unrelated for the most part. I imagine being triploid enhances...

Re: Musa velutina seeds wanted

Turns out bananas are more complicated, in that the genes for seedlessness (parthenocarpic) is separate from triploidy. Triploidy increases sterility, but triploid bananas can still set seed, just...

Re: Truly Tiny banana seeds

Re: Musa velutina seeds wanted

You are correct, I was thinking triploid was key, but parthenocarpy is a separate issue. I would think that once you have a tetraploid you could cross it to a diploid (like veinte cohol or pisang...

Re: Birth of a New Hybrid Musa: Musa sp. aff. aurantiaca (Trebrown seeds) x velutina

Orinoco is a triploid, velutina is diploid; while the cross might work, you would have to make the cross a bunch of times as that is what the banana breeders do. Like maybe one seed per bunch if they...

Re: Musa velutina seeds wanted

I recently treated some germinating seeds of Pandan Wangi pummelo x red Cooper grapefruit, and about 3 or 4 out of the 25 I tested were 4x. Citrus is a little more complicated due to the long...

I am looking for some Musa velutina, or whatever the species name is now (Musa dasycarpa var. velutina?), for an experiment to double the ploidy level. I have some experience with this in other...

Truly Tiny banana seeds

Due to a bizarre circumstance, I ordered some Truly Tiny seeds on eBay. (I was perusing eBay on my phone, saw the listing and thought, "This looks dubious." I had just clicked on it to read the...

Re: Musa itinerans var. kavalanensis

Phil,

Re: Siam Ruby Fruit

I know this is an old post, but I'm still curious about 'Siam Ruby' fruit. Has anyone else gotten theirs to fruit? Does it need to be cross pollinated?
