Field selection of elite events of East African highland bananas expressing elevated levels of pro‐vitamin A

open access: yesPlant 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 ...

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

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

Heat tolerance of Dwarf Cavendish banana (Musa AAA cv. Malindi) plants [PDF]

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015
A study was undertaken to determine the thermo-tolerance of 4 month old dwarf Cavendish banana plants of cultivar "Malindi" planted using suckers. The electrolyte leakage procedure was used to generate sigmoidal curves from which the thermo-tolerance was determined at 50% electrolyte leakage.

A novel approach to enhance resistance to vascular disease by expressing cell‐death‐inducing fungal elicitors in the xylem tissue

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3283-3299, August 2025.
Summary Constitutive expression of hypersensitive cell‐death‐inducing effectors secreted by pathogens has proved to be difficult in plants. Herein, xylem‐specific promoters (PVND7 or PVND2) were utilized to express three cell‐death‐inducing proteins (FocSIX1A, FocSIX6 or TvSm1) of fungal origin in banana plants.
