Abstract

Banana is one of the most important staple food around tropics. Bananas can be eaten as green when it is starchy. These crops are the most important components for food security around world by providing income to the farming community through local trade. This experiment was conducted to study the rachis behaviour and male bud characteristics of ABB genomic group and AAB genomic group banana cultivars. Here 5 cultivars under ABB genomic group (Behula, Bara Beglo, Bluggoe, Green Bombay, Pantharaj) and 5 cultivars of AAB genomic group (Dudhsagar, Martaman, Manohar, Desi Malbhog, Kalibhog) were observed. All of these 10 cultivars showed different characteristics in case of male bud, like male bud shape, male bud size, colour of the bract (external face), male bract lifting, wax on the bract, male flower behaviour, compound tepal basic colour, anther colour, stigma colour, ovary shape and dominant colour of male flower, all these were explained in details in this study.
