Abstract
BACKGROUND Stomatal variation, including guard cell (GC) density, size and chloroplast number, is often used to differentiate polyploids from diploids. However, few works have focused on stomatal variation with respect to polyploidization, especially for consecutively different ploidy levels within a plant species. For example, Allium tuberosum, which is mainly a tetraploid (2n = 4x = 32), is also found at other ploidy levels which have not been widely studied yet. RESULTS We recently found cultivars with different ploidy levels, including those that are diploid (2n = 2x = 16), triploid (2n = 3x = 24), pseudopentaploid (2n = 34-42, mostly 40) and pseudohexaploid (2n = 44-50, mostly 48). GCs were evaluated for their density, size (length and width) and chloroplast number. There was no correspondence between ploidy level and stomatal density, in which anisopolyploids (approximately 57 and 53 stomata/mm2 in triploid and pseudopentaploid, respectively) had a higher stomatal density than isopolyploids (approximately 36, 43, and 44 stomata/mm2 in diploid, tetraploid and pseudohexaploid, respectively). There was a positive relationship between ploidy level and GC chloroplast number (approximately 44, 45, 51, 72 and 90 in diploid to pseudohexaploid, respectively). GC length and width also increased with ploidy level. However, the length increased approximately 1.22 times faster than the width during polyploidization. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that GC size increased with increasing DNA content, but the rate of increase differed between length and width. In the process of polyploidization, plants evolved longer and narrower stomata with more chloroplasts in the GCs.

Narrow genetic diversity in germplasm from the Guinean and Sudano-Guinean zones in Benin indicates the need to broaden the genetic base of sweet fig banana (Musa acuminata cv Sotoumon).

Abstract
Sweet fig (M. acuminata cv. Sotoumon) is an economically important dessert banana in Benin, with high nutritional, medicinal, and cultural values. Nevertheless, its productivity and yield are threatened by biotic and abiotic stresses. Relevant knowledge of the genetic diversity of this economically important crop is essential for germplasm conservation and the development of breeding programs. However, very little is known about the genetic makeup of this cultivar in Benin. To advance the understanding of genetic diversity in sweet fig banana germplasm, a Genotype-By-Sequencing (GBS) was performed on a panel of 273 accessions collected in different phytogeographical zones of Benin. GBS generated 8,457 quality SNPs, of which 1992 were used for analysis after filtering. The results revealed a low diversity in the studied germplasm (He = 0.0162). Genetic differentiation was overall very low in the collection as suggested by the negative differentiation index (Fstg = -0.003). The Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) indicated that the variation between accessions within populations accounted for 83.8% of the total variation observed (P < 0.001). The analysis of population structure and neighbor-joining tree partitioned the germplasm into three clusters out of which a predominant major one contained 98.1% of all accessions. These findings demonstrate that current sweet fig banana genotypes shared a common genetic background, which made them vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stress. Therefore, broadening the genetic base of the crop while maintaining its quality attributes and improving yield performance is of paramount importance. Moreover, the large genetic group constitutes an asset for future genomic selection studies in the crop and can guide the profiling of its conservation strategies.

Abstract
In the perspective of investigating genomic selection (GS) among Musa genotypes in West and Central Africa, banana accessions were phenotyped under natural drought stress in Benin and genotyped using genotyping by sequencing. Sixty-one (61) accessions grouped into three major genomic groups AAA, AAB and ABB and those without genomic affiliation information were used. Variation within the population was determined by phenotypic variables while population structure and clustering analysis were carried out to understand the genetic diversity at the molecular level. Among the genomic groups evaluated, the group AAB showed the best performance for fruit weight at maturity, (3.41 ± 1.99 kg) and for plant height (198.46 ± 12.66 cm). At the accession level, HD 117 S1 and NIA 27 showed the best plant height (263.16 ± 20.98 cm) and the best fruit weight at maturity (9.43 ± 0.0 kg) respectively. Phenotypic data did not reveal clear genetic diversity among accessions; however, the genetic diversity was conspicuous at the molecular level using 5000 markers. The affiliations of local accessions in genomic groups were determined for the first time based on the phenotypic and molecular data obtained in this study. The knowledge generated allows the possibility to apply GS in banana.
