          Abstract

          The Colombian Musaceae Collection (CMC) contains 140 banana and plantain cultivars. For this study, twelve cultivars were selected when they were in the initial flowering stage and the physiological attributes of the plants and some components of the bunches were studied. Similar cultivar groups were determined in terms of the evaluated attributes with the use of a multivariate statistical analysis for principal components and grouping analysis. With 89.35% explanation of the total variance by the first five components, the variables fresh weight of the bunches, fresh weight of the fruit, number of fruits, specific leaf area, total dry weight of the plant, dry weight of the corms, and percentage of dry weight of the bunches represented the majority of the differentiation of the cultivars. This study allowed for the evaluation and comparison of the principal promising banana and plantain cultivars for use as basic tools in selection programs of the Musaceae germplasm in terms of agronomic and productive behaviors.

          La Colección Colombiana de Musáceas (CCM) cuenta con 140 cultivares de plátanos y bananos. Para este trabajo se seleccionaron doce cultivares cuando se encontraban en la etapa inicial de floración y se estudiaron los atributos fisiológicos de la planta y algunos componentes del racimo. A través de un análisis estadístico multivariado por componentes principales y análisis de agrupamientos, se determinaron grupos de cultivares similares en cuanto a los atributos evaluados. Con una representación del 89,35% de la varianza total explicada para los primeros cinco componentes se identificó que las variables peso fresco del racimo, peso fresco total del fruto, número de frutos, área foliar específica, peso seco total de la planta, peso seco del cormo y porcentaje de peso seco del racimo fueron las que presentaron mayor discriminación de los cultivares. El estudio permitió evaluar y comparar los principales cultivares promisorios de plátano y banano para utilizarlos como herramienta básica en los programas de selección de germoplasma de musáceas relacionadas con el comportamiento agronómico y productivo.
