Banana cultivar checklist

To sort the entries in a column in either ascending or descending order, click on the column header. To see only the words that start with a specific letter in a given column, sort the column and then select the letter among the ones above the table. Click All to display all the entries.

To search the checklist, click on Filters to display the search fields. The Local name and Cultivar fields are autocomplete but case sensitive which means that the first letter of any search should be capitalised. The Notes and References fields are not autocomplete and case sensitive. Search on only one word at time. For references, click on List of references on the right to see the references. Type the name of one of the authors (e.g. simmonds) or any of the words in the title in the filters' Reference field. Click on Filter to see the results of a search and on Reset to clear the results.

It is possible to export the results of a search in Excel. Just click on the Export button at the end of the search results. Note that downloading the entire checklist takes about one minute.

To link to the results of a search, use the following syntax: Banana+cultivar+checklist?f_Field ID=Search term, the field IDs being 82 for the Local name, 83 for the Location, 84 for the Cultivar, 86 for the Clone set and 87 for the Subgroup.
