Plantain-derived Diploid Hybrids (TMP2x) with Black Sigatoka Resistance [PDF]

HortScience, 1995
Plantain (Musa spp., AAB group), a triploid (2n = 3x = 33) giant perennial herb of the tropics, is a natural interspecific hybrid between the two wild banana species M. acuminata Colla. and M. balbisiana Colla. These diploid species contributed the A and B genomes, respectively (Simmonds, 1962).

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 ...

Environmental Requirements for Germination and Appressorium Formation of Ascospores and Conidia of Phyllosticta citricarpa, the Causal Agent of Citrus Black Spot

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 7, Page 2108-2120, September 2025.
Cardinal temperatures for both Phyllosticta citricarpa spore germination were estimated as ~10ºC (minimum) and ~40ºC (maximum), and the optimum temperatures were ~30ºC for ascospores and ~24ºC for conidia. ABSTRACT Phyllosticta citricarpa produces ascospores and conidia that infect citrus tissues and cause citrus black spot (CBS).

Deviation From the Regression of Yield on Nitrogen Fertiliser Rate as a Tool for Detecting Fraud in Organic Banana Production

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 188, Issue 4, Page 604-615, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Bananas are demanding in nitrogen (N) input; therefore, there is a temptation for organic farmers for using synthetic N fertilisers, which are not allowed under organic standards. The aim of our study was to develop a tool that identifies high banana yields obtained with suspiciously low organic N input.
