Popis: An experiment was conducted in the Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat to evaluate the huge diversity among the different banana germplasm in the state of Assam. The experiment comprised of 24 banana (Musa spp.) genotypes, of which the fruits were collected for precise biochemical characterization of the variations present in the collection. This analysis had created a database of the biochemical characterization of the fruits of different indigenous banana genotypes of Assam from which, it can be concluded that, there exists great genotype diversity among the Musa germplasm of Assam considering the fruit biochemical aspects and considerable amount of genetic variations are present even among the closely related genotypes within the same genomic group.
