List of all accessions analyzed in the study. Ploidy was estimated by flow cytometry from fresh Musa leaf samples (F) and ambiguous results are marked with asterisk (*). Chromosome counting is needed to confirm their ploidy. For lyophilized tissue (LT) or DNA samples, ploidy levels were retrieved from the MGIS database (
