    to the color variations that occur in the banana family, Musaceae. Anthocyanin biosynthesis of several pigments and genes has already been studied. However, the underlining genetic background which causes color differences has not been explained. In our study..., to investigate the molecular genetic background of the color variations in bracts of the bananas, anthocyanin biosynthetic pathways in uncommon yellow and pale purple bract taxa were compared to that of other species with orange and red-purple bracts. Anthocyanin

    © 2020 International Society for Horticultural Science. All rights reserved. Musa rubra, a native wild banana in Thailand, has aesthetic value as an ornamental plant given its showy inflorescence with colorful orange bracts. It flowers year-round... population study may be the result of vegetative propagation (i.e., all individuals are genetic clones), thus explaining the lack of seed set in spite of certain pollen transfer. This study may provide important information about M. rubra cultivation
