One‐fifth of banana production is wasted due to failure to meet market ripening standards. This study aimed to develop ready‐to‐eat (RTE) green banana porridge flour and fortify it with moringa leaf powder (RTEM), hemp powder (RTEH), soybean powder (RTES), and pea powder (RTEP) to formulate nutritionally enhanced porridges for older infants, children ...

Measuring Software Diversity, with Applications to Security [PDF]
In this work, we briefly introduce and discuss some of the diversity measures used in Ecology. After a succinct description and analysis of the most relevant ones, we single out the Shannon-Weiner index.

Metabolite profiling characterises chemotypes of Musa diploids and triploids at juvenile and preflowering growth stages [PDF]
Open Access Journal; Published online: 15 March 2019Bananas (Musa spp.) are consumed worldwide as dessert and cooking types. Edible banana varieties are for the most part seedless and sterile and therefore vegetatively propagated.

We assessed the quantitative resistance components of different banana genotypes to the fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis causing black leaf streak disease in field and controlled conditions. ABSTRACT Combining different components of quantitative resistance in new banana hybrids has potential for developing efficient and durable control of black leaf ...

Fusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is considered as one of the most threatening diseases of banana. The Cavendish variety, resistant to Foc race 1 (R1), is susceptible to tropical race 4 (TR4)

Status of epidemics and management of Fusarium Wilt Tropical Race 4 in the Philippines [PDF]
Epidemics caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) in Cavendish plantations in the Philippines is a serious threat to the country’s banana industry. The Philippines is the major banana exporter in Asia, with its peak recorded

Genetic diversity is key to a nature‐positive future
Abstract Nature‐positive describes the concept of halting and then reversing the loss of biodiversity in a manner that is equitable to all, particularly indigenous peoples and local communities. Genetic diversity is the foundational component of biodiversity, underpinning species and ecosystem diversity.

This study demonstrates that the production of surfactin by B. subtilis R31 needs to be balanced. Excessive surfactin will weaken the colonisation ability and disease control effect of the strain. By targeting the regulation of the surfactin signalling pathway, synthetic microbial communities can be designed for sustainable disease control.

Optimization of a drying process using infraredvacuum drying of Cavendish banana slices [PDF]
The application of far infrared radiation (FIR) to vacuum drying is interesting since FIR leads to higher drying rates and yields the dried product of better quality.
