• Abstract : The "Exploration of wild banana populations in Papua New Guinea" took place from 7 to 17 June 2017 and focused on the regions around Madang (Madang Province) and Lae (Morobe Province). In the framework of the PhenSeeData project, the aim of the collecting mission was the collection of wild banana samples that would allow performing population genetics studies and further help to design more efficient conservation strategies specific to wild bananas. In Madang province, we collected samples of M. acuminata banksii, M. schizocarpa and M. peekelii ssp. angustigemma while M. acuminata ssp. banksii, M. schizocarpa, M. maclayi spp. maclayi var maclayi and M. balbisiana were collected in Morobe Province. In addition of leaf samples, seeds were also collected. We report here on the 10 days spent encountering wild bananas of Papua New Guinea.
