Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Effect of paleopolyploidy and allopolyploidy on gene expression in banana

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Bananas (Musa spp.) are an important crop worldwide. Most modern cultivars resulted from a complex polyploidization history that comprised three whole genome duplications (WGDs) shaping the haploid Musa genome, followed by inter- and intra ...

In Vitro Sterilization Protocol for Micropropagation of Musa (AAA group) ‘Amritsagar’ Musa (AAB group) ‘Malbhog’ and Musa (AAB group) ‘Chenichampa’ Banana

Indian Journal of Applied Research, 2011
Sterilization procedure was standardized for three popular banana cultivars viz., Musa (AAA group) ‘Amritsagar’; Musa (AAB group) ‘Malbhog’; and Musa (AAB group) ‘Chenichampa’. Two sterilants, sodium hypochlorite (0.5 % and 1.0 %) and mercuric chloride (0.1 %) were used both singly and in combination for surface sterilization of explants under ...

Variation in Quantitative Resistance Components to the Fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis Causing Black Leaf Streak Disease Among Banana Genotypes

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2857-2879, December 2025.
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 ...
