This conclusion presents some closing thoughts of the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of the book. The book deals with several subjects: botany, evolution, genetic resources, cytogenetics, genetics, plant health management, genetic enhancement, postharvest processing, micropropagation, and delivery of new cultivars to farming systems. It provides an update on molecular breeding of asexual crops from which the next genetic enhancement schemes can be sought. The book deals with the genetic resources of wild-seeded bananas. Recent research on Musa wild species gave priority to establishing the boundary between sections and among species therein. The book provide state-of-the-art knowledge of banana cytogenetics and genetics. Musa species are among the best examples of organisms whose complex cytogenetic structure ensued through extensive chromosomal rearrangements. The book speaks about reproductive biology, which is central to the species breeding system and for success of banana breeding schemes.
