Did you know that there might be as many as 1000 different types of bananas [2]? Or that the banana genome [3] is larger than for rice and Arabidopsis but smaller than for maize or wheat? Or that bananas have a unique nomenclature system [4]?
Visit Musapedia - the new online knowledge compendium launched by ProMusa [5] - to find out all this and more.
Each year, hundreds of articles on bananas are published in scientific journals and elsewhere, which can make it difficult to find and access relevant information. Musapedia hopes to facilitate this through the exchange of information, knowledge and know-how on all things banana related.
Musapedia uses a wiki to gather contributions from the wider banana community. To join in, simply visit the site [6] and register.
Bioversity is pleased to provide a secretariat service to Promusa.
