Thanks Shannon, this is great info.
We're lucky to have a member in T&T.
How many IC's were developed?
How many have you been able to locate?
Were these the first synthetic bananas?
Do you have access to any of the original documents?

IC2 is a tetraploid (AAAA)...
THE 1C2 listed on your link is NOT likely to be IC2 as IC2 is not a dwarf and your banana accession 1C2/TARS17138 is written up as a triploid AAA.
The ARS illustration of the plant doesn't look like any of the synthetic AAAAs that I'm growing.
