Description
For most edible bananas, the following codes work to show what genome they belong to.
A = M.acuminata
B = M. balbisiana
T = M. textilis (rare varieties)
S = M. schizocarpa (rare varieties)
Common groups are as follows:
AA = small, sweet, desert banana (M. acuminata derived edible diploid)
AAA = sweet desert banana (M. acuminata derived edible triploid)
AAB = semi-sweet or sweet variable bananas (M. acuminata x M.balbisiana derived triploid)
ABB = starchier cooking bananas (M. acuminata x M.balbisiana derived triploid)
(other genome groups include AB, AS, AAAB, ABBB, ABBT)
