Abstract

This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the genus, focusing on its significance, diversity, cultivation practices, commercial applications, and impact on health and well-being. The introduction highlights the economic importance of the genus, particularly bananas, and plantains, as globally consumed fruit crops. It emphasizes their role in food security, poverty alleviation, and rural development. The classification and diversity of species are discussed, with a focus on recent advancements in understanding their genetic diversity and evolutionary history. The geographical distribution and cultivation practices of varieties are explored, including major production regions in India and worldwide. The article also delves into the various bioactive compounds found in varieties, their potential therapeutic uses, and their significance in wound healing, anti-cancer activity, and diabetes management. The commercial applications of varieties in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries are highlighted. Furthermore, the safety and adverse effects of varieties are addressed, drawing from toxicological studies. The importance of varieties in promoting health and well-being is emphasized, considering their medicinal properties, nutritional composition, cultural significance, and potential for commercial applications. The article concludes by highlighting the need for further research and utilization of varieties to maximize their benefits and contribute to human health and well-being.
