Do bananas have seeds - The Plant Aide

At the beginning, bananas had seeds, but people wanted to eat seedless bananas more, so they continued to crossbreed, eliminate the larger seed individuals in the offspring, and purify genes, so seedless bananas were born. At present, banana is usually cultivated by asexual propagation, so it will not produce seeds.

1. At the beginning

Now you can't seem to find the seeds of a banana by cutting it. At first, however, it had seeds. However, compared with seeds, people want it to grow bigger and more fragrant pulp, so this has become the breeding direction of scientists.

In the process of breeding, scientists will remove the individual with more seeds, leave the individual with larger pulp, and continuously hybridize and purify genes.

2. There is no

In modern times, after continuous hybridization, gene purification has been completed, and seedless banana was born. However, if it is hybridized with other varieties of bananas, its genes may be "contaminated", so at present, asexual reproduction without changing the genotype is used to plant bananas.
