| Description: | The INIBAP (International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain) Transit Centre (ITC) in vitro active collection was established at K.U.Leuven in 1984. As such it is also part of the Biodiversity Resources in Belgium. In 1994, the collection was placed under the auspices of FAO and is held in trust by INIBAP for the benefit of the international community. The aim of the gene bank is to conserve all available banana and plantain genetic resources and to supplyplant materials to any bona fide users. The ITC supplies daily 5 accessions. So far 28 % of the distributed accessions were sent to Africa, 24 % to Latin America and the Caribbean, 21 % to Asia and 27 % to others. Currently, the collection holds 1,136 accessions among which 15% are wild relatives and 75% landraces covering most of the genetic diversity within the genus Musa. Also included in the collection are advanced cultivars (10%) from banana improvement progammes worldw |
