Silicon Reduces Black Sigatoka Development in Banana [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2012
The effect of silicon (Si) uptake on the susceptibility of Musa acuminata to Mycosphaerella fijiensis was investigated in three experiments conducted under controlled conditions. Plants were grown in the presence of Si or not, in pots adapted for a hydroponic culture system or in pots filled with compost. The banana leaves were inoculated after 4 or 6

Banana breeding by genome design. [PDF]

J Integr Plant Biol
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.

Management of black sigatoka in Cameroon [PDF]

, 2006
In Cameroon, Mycosphaerella fijiensis was reported for the first time in 1981 and the control against black leaf streak disease represents the highest production cost which can attend up to 10% of total production cost. In fact, the epidemiological context which exists in Cameroon is particularly favourable to the disease notably in the rainy season ...

Variable number of tandem repeat markers in the genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana (Musa spp) [PDF]

, 2010
. We searched the genome of Mycosphaerella fijiensis for molecular markers that would allow population genetics analysis of this plant pathogen. M. fijiensis, the causal agent of banana leaf streak disease, also known as black Sigatoka, is the most ...

QCAV-4, the first genetically modified Cavendish (cv. Grand Nain) banana resistant to Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 approved for commercial production and consumption. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Bananas (Musa spp.) are a major fruit crop worldwide, with the Cavendish cultivar dominating the export industries, which are based primarily in the Americas and the Philippines. The sustainability of banana production in these, and other regions, is under threat from the fungal disease Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 (TR4) which kills Cavendish ...
