Nuclear genome size and genomic distribution of ribosomal DNA in Musa and Ensete (Musaceae): taxonomic implications.
TLDR
Hierarchical cluster analysis of genome size, number of chromosomes and 45S rDNA sites suggested a close relationship between Rhodochlamys and Eumusa; Australimusa was clearly separated as were M. beccarii and E. gilletii.Abstract:
Nuclear DNA content and genomic distributions of 5S and 45S rDNA were examined in nineteen diploid accessions of the genus Musa representing its four sections Eumusa</i&read more

Domestication, Genomics and the Future for Banana
TL;DR: Genomic approaches are now rapidly advancing in Musa and have the prospect of helping enable banana to maintain and increase its importance as a staple food and cash crop through integration of genetical, evolutionary and structural data, allowing targeted breeding, transformation and efficient use of Musa biodiversity in the future.

Nuclear DNA amounts in angiosperms: targets, trends and tomorrow
TL;DR: Analysis of the dataset, which is by far the largest of the nine compilations published since 1976, shows that angiosperm C-values are now being generated at the highest rate since the first genome sizes were estimated in the 1950s.

“A draft Musa balbisiana genome sequence for molecular genetics in polyploid, inter- and intra-specific Musa hybrids”
Mark W. Davey,Ranganath Gudimella,Jennifer Ann Harikrishna,Lee Wan Sin,Norzulaani Khalid,Johan Keulemans +5 more
TL;DR: Next Generation gDNA sequencing of the wild diploid M. balbisiana variety ‘Pisang Klutuk Wulung’ generated and annotated a draft reference Musa B-genome and demonstrated that this can be used for molecular genetic mapping of gene transcripts and small RNA expression data from several allopolyploid banana cultivars.

Santos,Ang lique D'Hont,Olivier Garsmeur,Alberto Duarte Vilarinhos,Hiroyuki Kanamori,Takashi Matsumoto,Catherine M. Ronning,Foo Cheung,Brian J. Haas,Ryan Althoff,Tammy Arbogast,Erin Hine,Georgios J. Pappas,Takuji Sasaki,Manoel Souza,Robert N.G. Miller,Jean-Christophe Glaszmann,Christopher D. Town +24 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of genomic sequence in two Musa species with orthologous regions in the rice genome point to the utility of comparative analyses between distantly-related monocot species such as rice and Musa for improving the understanding ofmonocot genome evolution.

Nuclear DNA content and genome size of trout and human.
TL;DR: Because trout and human nuclei are often used as internal reference standards to determine genome size in animals and plants, the results published by Thomas et al. (1) need correction to avoid serious mistakes.

Bananas and Plantains
J. C. Robinson,V. Galán Saúco +1 more
TL;DR: In the last 15 years, substantial changes have occurred in banana production, among them the increased importance of fungal and viral diseases and their serious impact on Cavendish export cultivars, smallholder plantains and cooking bananas as discussed by the authors.

DAPI staining of fixed cells for high-resolution flow cytometry of nuclear DNA.
TL;DR: This protocol is recommended for the accurate and reproducible measurement of the nuclear DNA, especially for the assessment of DNA content variations in cell populations affected by chemical or physical mutagens and for the discrimination of spermatogenic cells.

The taxonomy and origins of the cultivated bananas
N. W. Simmonds,K. Shepherd +1 more
TL;DR: A taxonomy scoring method is used to classify the edible bananas and to provide evidence on their evolution and the names may be rejected from the nomenclature of the wild bananas.

Nuclear DNA Amounts in Angiosperms and their Modern Uses—807 New Estimates
TL;DR: This paper lists DNA C-values for 807 angiosperm species from 70 original sources, including 520 from sources published after 1996, and 691 for species not included in any of the previous five lists.
