Farming System and Nematodes Affect the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Tropical Banana Plants

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.
The banana crops showed a core microbiome of 77 ASV, mostly belonging to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacilli. Specific groups of bacteria and fungi were linked to each nematode species or feeding group, with a core microbiome of correlated taxa found only when considering nematodes by feeding groups.

Black Sigatoka disease: new technologies to strengthen eradication strategies in Australia [PDF]

Australasian Plant Pathology, 2006
In 2001, an incursion of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black Sigatoka, was detected in Australia’s largest commercial banana growing region, the Tully Banana Production Area in North Queensland. An intensive surveillance and eradication campaign was undertaken which resulted in the reinstatement of the disease-free status for black ...

DBA‐DeepLab: Dual‐Backbone Attention‐Enhanced DeepLab V3+ Model for Plant Disease Segmentation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
This study introduces DBA‐DeepLab, a novel plant disease segmentation model that integrates dual backbones—ResNet‐50 and EfficientNet‐B3—with a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) and Sobel filtering for enhanced accuracy. Trained on the PlantDoc dataset, the model achieves superior performance metrics, including 99.35% accuracy and 100% recall,

Nanaga Site of Wasavulu (Labasa, Fiji): Mapping of a Traditional Religious Site of Vanua Levu

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 63-70, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Pre‐Christian religious sites of the Fijian Archipelago have been seldom studied and even less often mapped by archaeologists. This is especially the case for the enigmatic Nanaga enclosures, whose functioning has remained poorly documented by the first ethnographers of the 19th century.

Genetic Improvement of Banana for Resistance to Xanthomonas Wilt in East Africa

Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Banana (Musa spp.) is a staple food and income generation crop, feeding millions worldwide. However, the cultivation of bananas is challenging due to biotic and abiotic production constraints. Among these factors are pests and diseases, especially banana bacterial disease.

Advancements in smart agriculture: A systematic literature review on state‐of‐the‐art plant disease detection with computer vision

IET Computer Vision, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
Plant diseases are known to cause negative impacts and financial losses which are usually found on plant leaves and detection using traditional methods is a labor‐intensive process. Smart agriculture applications based on computer vision are being developed to detect and control of plant diseases.

Inheritance of black sigatoka disease resistance in plantain-banana (Musa spp.) hybrids

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1994
Black sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet), an airborne fungal leaf-spot disease, is a major constraint to plantain and banana (Musa spp.) production world-wide. Gaining further knowledge of the genetics of host-plant resistance will enhance the development of resistant cultivars, which is considered to be the most appropriate means to achieve ...

Use of the aniline blue-KOH staining in the study of the banana-Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet interaction

Biotecnología Vegetal, 2005
The analysis of the first stages of the infection process with the fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet was made beginning with the inoculation of young banana plants obtained from in vitro culture.
