| Common Name | Pisang Madu |
| Description | Pisang Madu (PT-BA-00304) is a Musa diploid hybrid (AA) likely obtained from Malaysia. The cultivar ‘Pisang Madu’ is keystone to the genome ancestry mosaics painting approach as it enabled the discovery and the identification of diagnostic SNPs for two uncharacterized ancestors of cultivated bananas. Pisang Madu H1 corresponds to M. a. ssp. halabanensis from Indonesia and H2 includes large regions of the second unknown ancestry (aprox.30%) This genome was the result of a collaboration between Genoscope and CIRAD (UMR AGAP), with funding from ANR (France Génomique). The details of this research are documented in the upcoming publication: Martin G, Istace B, et al., 2024. "Chromosome evolution in Musa species: Insights from genome assemblies of wild contributors to banana cultivars" (in review). |
