Table 1 List of probes used to identify the Musa BAC clones sequenced as part of the present study. Estimated copy numbers of these sequences in rice, Sorghum and Musa are indicated for SbRPG (Sorghum bicolor) sequences. MA4 are BAC clones from M. acuminata cv. Calcutta-4 and MBP are BAC clones from M. balbisiana cv. Pisang Klutuk Wulung.
