  abstract = {{B}ananas cultivated for export all belong to {C}avendish cultivars and are all recognized as very susceptible to nematodes, particularly to the burrowing nematode {R}adopholus similis and the lesion nematode {P}ratylenchus coffeae. {E}ven if there have been many changes in the management of banana nematodes in large commercial banana plantations, chemical control still remains most often the last resort method to manage the nematodes, although the number of registered products is definitely declining. {T}herefore, nematode control though genetic improvement is gaining new interest worldwide. {I}n this study, 55 banana accessions mostly diploids from the {M}usa acuminata genome group ({AA}) but including some triploid accessions ({AAA}), some diploids of the {M}usa balbisiana genome group ({BB}) and some interspecific hybrids ({AAB}, {AB}) were evaluated for resistance to four nematode species {R}. similis, {P}. coffeae, {M}eloidogyne incognita and {M}. arenaria. {T}hese experiments were conducted in a growth chamber under controlled conditions. {A}ll banana accessions were susceptible to nematode species, although many different levels of susceptibility were detected. {T}his study confirmed the good resistance status to {R}. similis of some cultivars from the {P}isang jari buaya and {P}isang batuau subgroups and the partial resistance of 17 diploid accessions significantly different from the susceptible reference cv. {G}rande {N}aine. {T}his study also showed that 12 diploid accessions exhibited a partial resistance to {P}. coffeae, including some usual or potential genitors belonging to the wild diploids subspecies burmannica (cvs. {L}ong {T}avoy 1 and 2) and burmannicoides (cv. {C}alcutta 4). {N}o source of resistance to {M}eloidogyne spp. was found. {T}hese screening results, combining for the first time four nematode species, are discussed within the scope of banana breeding in order to produce parental diploid lines with single or combined nematode resistances and further develop triploids that can substitute existing susceptible commercial cultivars.},
