Re: Question
Yes, edible bananas are mostly triploid, e. g. AAA, AAB, ABB, BBB
Triploid bananas are seedless and have thicker and larger fruits.
One triploid Musa basjoo or Musa sikkimensis might also have edible fruits, hardy fruit bananas. One friend, one biologist and scientist in Vienna/Austria, has now triploidizied Musa basjoo "Sakhalin", one pup from me. Now he regenerates plants by tissue culture.
Best wishes
