Default Re: implants as a means for crossing Musa

I don't know a lot about banana genetics, but I wonder if you could do in vitro fertilization. I haven't the slightest idea how you would get haploid gametes, but if you could fuse them you could get an embryo going and eventually a plant. Of course at this point we are talking big $$$ and a fancy lab.
