Use of timelapse photography to determine flower opening time and pattern in banana (Musa spp.) for efficient hand pollination

Abstract Sterility and low seed set in bananas is the main challenge to their conventional genetic improvement. The first step to seed set in a banana breeding program depends on pollination at the right time to ensure effective fertilization. This study aimed at determining bract opening time (BOT)...
