- Abstract
The article focuses on the intergeneric hybridization between Ensete superbum and Musa balbisiana to produce apomictic seeds. Cytological studies and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) markers were employed to count the number of chromosomes and to determine the hybridity of the seeedlings. It is stated that intergeneric hybridization is not possible in conventional banana breeding.
