Abstract

Cytoplasmically inherited characters such as resistance to viral and fungal diseases, determination of starch types, crop yield, resistance to low or high temperature often contribute to the advantageous phenotypic traits of plants. In the present study, our goal was to elucidate the genealogy of cytoplasmic genomes chloroplast and mitochondria in banana. Banana breeding is rather complicated because of the low fertility and mostly unknown origin of the edible cultivars, therefore, knowledge on the putative fertile ancestors of cytoplasmic genomes chloroplast and mitochondria would be beneficial for breeding programmes. Based on the established marker systems distinct species specific gene-pools could be identified for both chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes for Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana wild types, respectively. Detailed analysis of the species specific chloroplast and mitochondrial gene-pools of M. acuminata and M. balbisiana revealed six chloroplast and seven mitochondrial gene-pools in the analysed accessions. Comparative analysis of the haplotypes revealed the presence of Primary Centers of origin for both chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of both species supporting the idea of common origin of these genomes. Cytotypes representing combinations of M. acuminata chloroplast and mitochondrial gene-pools were identified in majority of the analysed hybrid cultivars. A single M. acuminata cytotype was present in the majority of the analysed cultivars, which combination was not detected in any of the wild types. On the other part a single balbisiana cytotype was identified participating in the formation of interspecies hybrids. The strong preference for the presence of certain cytoplasmic gene-pools in cultivars may indicate hundreds of years of natural as well as of farmers’ selection supplementing the phenotypic traits provided by the nuclear genome. Based on the present results the present day subspecies classification of M. acuminata is also discussed.
