The Product Catalogue is an evolving compilation of a diverse array of products derived from tangible outputs of projects supported in whole or in part by the CGIAR Generation Challenge Programme. As projects mature, more products are added. Products are listed under the specific project crop or Global. Under each crop, you will find diverse types of products, such as germplasm, markers, genomics resources and informatics applications. Global includes products applicable to several or all crops and generally includes informatics tools and learning materials. We consider all catalogued products as useful. However, our user base is highly varied and includes upstream as well as downstream plant scientists. Not all products will be of direct interest to breeders. Consequently, a BUL (Breeding Use Level) rating has been provided to indicate the direct usefulness of products to breeders:
| Breeding Use Levels | |
| BUL | Description |
| 1 | Ready to use for breeding (I.e. predictive markers, germplasm of acceptable agronomic type containing a well-defined and characterized trait, and etc.). |
| 2 | Qualified use for breeding (i.e germplasm in which trait genetics have not been well defined or markers that may be informative but not necessarily predictive). |
| 3 | Indirectly useful for breeding (i.e. genomic resources from which downstream products for breeding are developed and many informatics applications). |
| 4 | Not developed for breeding, per se (i.e. miscellaneous information as socio-economic reports). |

| Product Number | G4005.15 |
| Product | SSR markers for the BORLI (Musa) map |
| Crop/Area | Musa |
| Type | Genomic Resources |
| Description | 180 SSR markers and 380 DArT markers for the BORLI (Musa) map and 41 BACs completely sequenced. 2 cDNA libraries from PKW leaves and roots produced. 5760 ESTs clones from these libraries sequenced. Additional 6132 ESTs from a previously developed cDNA library from Mycosphaerella fijiensis infected leaves of Calcutta 4 produced. 614 repetitive DNA sequences, isolated from Calcutta 4, analyzed. |
| Current Use | This data set of informative markers consolidates existing publicly available Musa genomic resources and make new resources available (ESTs, BACs, sequence data), Establishing international mapping populations with the view of high precision genetic mapping, Developing publicly available Musa maps anchored with genetic and EST markers with reference to gene and genome sequences from rice and other models, Selective sequencing and immediate publication of A and B genome BAC clones bearing genes potentially involved in important traits; sequencing of random and targeted ESTs, and immediate publication of sequences, Establishment of Musa databases and front-ends to sequence databases; public distribution of clones; training and dissemination of information about Musa genomics and the uses of this information |
