Field selection of elite events of East African highland bananas expressing elevated levels of pro‐vitamin A

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 3713-3726, September 2025.
Summary Biofortification of staple crops is a sustainable strategy to deliver essential micronutrients to impoverished populations in developing countries. Banana is a highly valued crop consumed by over 75% of Ugandans. However, the starchy green cooking bananas have very low levels of pro‐vitamin A (PVA) and heavy dietary reliance on them has been ...

Molecular Identification and Phylogenetic Diversity of Native Entomopathogenic Nematodes, and Their Bacterial Endosymbionts, Isolated from Banana and Plantain Crops in Western Colombia

Agronomy, 2023
With the increasing negative impacts on worldwide food production caused by pests, the recovery of native entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) is relevant, since they are adapted to local environments, entomofauna, and significant virulence.

Local and neighboring patch conditions alter sex‐specific movement in banana weevils [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2015
AbstractUnderstanding the mechanisms underlying the movements and spread of a species over time and space is a major concern of ecology. Here, we assessed the effects of an individual's sex and the density and sex ratio of conspecifics in the local and neighboring environment on the movement probability of the banana weevil,Cosmopolites sordidus. In a “
