Banana breeding by genome design

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 11, Page 2816-2847, November 2025.
Bananas and plantains likely originated from hybridizations of four wild Musa species. This review highlights advances in banana genomics, genetics, and breeding, emphasizing genome sequencing breakthroughs and genomic‐assisted tools like selection and gene editing, and explores future prospects for improving key agronomic traits.

Underground Warfare: Mechanisms of Trichoderma in the Suppression of the March of Fusarium in Banana Plants—Advances, Limitations and Perspectives

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 173, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), remains one of the most devastating threats to global banana production, particularly with the spread of Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Conventional management options are limited due to the pathogen's persistence in soil, wide host range and difficulty of eradication.

Joseph Bancroft’s discovery of Fusarium Wilt of banana

Historical Records of Australian Science
In the early decades of British settlement at Sydney Cove in 1788, the struggling colonials tried their hand at growing edible bananas but invariably failed. However, they grew extremely well in the Moreton Bay colony (Brisbane) and over time banana growing became an important agricultural industry there, particularly after the introduction of the ...

Soil Properties Induced Changes in the Microbial Communities Associated With Potato Tubers Grown in Different Lowland Fields of Northern Thailand

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 5, October 2025.
Microbial communities on potato tubers in northern Thailand were studied with 16S and ITS amplicon sequencing. It was found that soil pH and organic matter are key drivers of bacterial and fungal composition, affecting the balance between pathogens and beneficial microbes.
