Crop Protection, 2008 Abstract The effect of endophytic Beauveria bassiana in banana ( Musa spp.) plants against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus was examined in a screenhouse study in Uganda. Tissue-cultured banana plants (cv. Kibuzi, genome group EA-AAA) were inoculated by dipping roots in a B. bassiana suspension of 1.5 × 10 7 conidia/ml for 2 h.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

A Functional Analysis of Inflorescence Architecture in Musa L. (Musaceae)
Food and Energy Security, Volume 13, Issue 5, September/October 2024.ABSTRACT Inflorescence architecture underpins sexual reproduction in wild Musa species and productivity in edible banana cultivars. In a functional analysis, we identified the apical inflorescence and lateral ‘cushion’ meristems and the change in flower type as the three primary components that generate inflorescence architecture. Five genotypes of two
