Abstract
Musa acuminata Colla (Musaceae), the wild progenitor of the cultivated banana, is highly variable in Malaysia and presents several unresolved nomenclatural problems. AFLP was employed to distinguish among three subspecies of Musa acuminata (subsp. truncata and subsp. malaccensis from peninsular Malaysia and subsp. microcarpa from Borneo) and to examine whether subsp. truncata is a distinct taxon. Eight primer combinations revealed molecular...
