Default learning about the different types?

Ok so I've been selling stuff on here and life gets busy sometimes and I'm still clueless about the differences of Pisangs, Mysores, cavendishes...
AAA ABB AAB AA ...etc..can anyone point me to a place I can learn, rather...quickly about these?
Much thanks!
Larry

Not sure about the differences, but the Letters show what ancestry the plant has if I am not mistaken. You can get info about the genetic background, and maybe different traits, and what proportion of them? By looking at these letters. For example more A's = sweeter, more B's = starchier, due to different proportions of ancestor genomes. Can anyone confirm what I just wrote?. INFO Genetic Names - Bananas Wiki

Default Re: learning about the different types?

The WIKI on here gives you a basic idea.
The Kepler and Rust book is also "some very good reads".
Something to keep in mind for all people not living in the tropics: the more AA genes a plant has ( for example the Cavendish types) the less tolerant the plant is to cold.
