Abstract

---

Banana production in Pakistan is confined to subtropical regions. Most orchards are based on the cultivar Basrai. This monoculture facilitates the diseases spread and causing epidemics resulting in the simultaneous decimation of the crop in the entire region. The aim of this study was to identify different features of exotic banana clones by means of RAPD-based genetic analysis and to compare them with ‘Basrai’. Fourteen different banana clones were assessed
