Original multidisciplinary research hereby clarifies the complex geodomestication pathways that generated the vast range of banana cultivars (cvs). Genetic analyses identify the wild ancestors of modern-day cvs and elucidate several key stages of domestication for different cv groups. Archaeology and linguistics shed light on the historical roles of people in the movement and cultivation of bananas from New Guinea to West Africa during the Holocene. The historical reconstruction of domestication processes is essential for breeding programs seeking to diversify and improve banana cvs for the future.
本文通过多学科研究阐明了复杂的香蕉品种(cv)驯化途径。遗传分析确定了现代 cv 的野生祖先,并阐明了不同 cv 群体驯化的几个关键阶段。考古学和语言学揭示了在全新世期间人类在香蕉从新几内亚到西非的传播和种植过程中所扮演的历史角色。对驯化过程的历史重建对于寻求多样化和改进未来香蕉 cv 的育种计划至关重要。
