Great to hear that recent banana diversity collecting in my old stamping ground of the Pacific ((And, yes, we have blogged about this sort of thing before. And, yes, I do need to stop using this cliche in banana posts. But not today.)) has resulted in three beautiful germplasm catalogues:
- Rarotonga and Aitutaki, Cook Islands
- Upolu, Samoa
- West New Britain, Papua New Guinea
In due course, this material will end up in the Musa International Transit Centre and will be available for breeding, research and training under the SMTA of the Plant Treaty.
