Genome-wide identification and characterization of the CKII gene family in the cultivated banana cultivar (Musa spp. cv Tianbaojiao) and the wild banana (Musa itinerans). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Plant casein kinase II (CKII) plays an essential role in regulating plant growth and development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the CKII family genes in Musa spp. cv. 'Tianbaojiao'

Reduction of banana (Musa AAA cv Grande Naine) leaf photosynthesis by Radopholus similis

Journal of Applied Biosciences, 2022
Objective: to determine the effect of Radopholus similis on banana (Musa AAA cv. Grande Naine) leaf photosynthesis. Methodology and Results: Four experiments were carried out under lathhouse conditions. In vitro plants were sown in pot of 1.8 L volume containing a soil (sterilized or unsterilized) from a commercial banana farm.

Diversity, Host Attachment Preferences and Role of Tick Rhipicephalus microplus in the Transmission of Bartonella spp. and Rickettsia spp. in Cattle From Southern Benin

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Ticks infesting cattle in Southern Benin were investigated for diversity, attachment preferences and zoonotic bacteria. Among 2210 ticks collected from 540 cattle, Rhipicephalus microplus predominated (79.6%). Ticks mainly attached to ears, axillae and trunk. PCR detection revealed Bartonella spp. and Rickettsia spp., highlighting veterinary and public

Sequencing the banana genome (W069) [PDF]

, 2011
Bananas (Musa) are the fourth most important crop in developing countries. They are important as an export crop but also play a major role in local food security. Crops of Musa are susceptible to an ever increasing range of diseases requiring massive use

A Detection Method for Tropical Race 4 of the Banana Pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense [PDF]

, 2011
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is the causal agent of Fusarium wilt, the devastating disease that ruined the ‘Gros Michel’ (AAA)-based banana production in the first half of the 20th century.

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 ...

A MaERF110‐MaMYB308 Transcriptional Module Negatively Regulates Lignin‐Mediated Defence Against Fusarium Wilt in Banana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2811-2825, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), threatens global banana production. Lignin reinforces cell walls against pathogens and lodging, yet its regulatory mechanisms in banana remain elusive. Through genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of lignin content across 184 banana accessions, we identified ...

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 ...
