Predicted economic impact of black Sigatoka on the Australian banana industry
While Australia has lifted its outright ban on banana imports, very strict pre-entry requirements remain in place making it prohibitively expensive for foreign suppliers to land product in Australia. These include the establishment and maintenance of areas of low pest prevalence (following guidelines described in FAO, 2005; FAO, 2007, respectively ...

Development of improved plantain/banana germplasm with black sigatoka resistance
Variety improvement of plantain and banana (Musa spp.) is based on genetic diversity, which provides the basis for selection gain. This paper reviews result obtained by the Plantain and Banana Improvement Programme (PBIP) of the International Institute ...

Preliminary results at IITA in breeding plantain for black sigatoka resistance in Africa
Africa accounts for 50 of all plantain produced in the world. These plantains are overwhelmingly import as a food crop for local consumption. Black sigatoka has now invaded Africa, thereby endangering this important food source.

Although certain bacterial species may be in vitro antagonistic of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, as it was demonstrated, they are discrete results that have their effect on the Musa spp.-M. fijiensis interaction.

Evolutionary dynamics of mating-type loci of Mycosphaerella spp. occurring on banana
The devastating Sigatoka disease complex of banana is primarily caused by three closely related heterothallic fungi belonging to the genus Mycosphaerella: M. fijiensis, M. musicola, and M. eumusae.

Proposal of a weather-based prediction system for Yellow Sigatoka in Santa Catarina State, Brazil
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the main fruits produced in Brazil, and its production is among the largest in the world. The Sigatoka disease complex is widely distributed across banana producing regions mainly comprising the fungi Pseudocercospora ...
