Influence of plant and residue age on attraction, acceptance and larval survival of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Laboratory trials were conducted in Uganda at the Kawanda Agricultural Research Institute to determine attraction, eclosion success and larval survivorship of the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) on crop residues of different ages.

Assessment of RNAi-induced silencing in banana (Musa spp.) [PDF]
, 2015 In plants, RNA- based gene silencing mediated by small RNAs functions at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level to negatively regulate target genes, repetitive sequences, viral RNAs and/or transposon elements.

Plant 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 ...

Diagnostic of Banana streak viruses (BSV) and study of their levels of prevalence and molecular diversity in Cuba [PDF]
, 2011 Banana and plantain play a significant role in food security in Cuba, as reflected by the important surfaces (ca 101 000 ha) devoted to their culture. Interspecific triploid (AAB) and tetraploid (AAAB) plantain hybrids harbouring both the Musa acuminata (

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.

Plant 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.

The complex story of intergenomic recombination in ABB allotriploid bananas. [W099] [PDF]
, 2020 Bananas (Musa spp.) are a major staple food for hundreds of millions of people in developing countries. The cultivated varieties are seedless and parthenocarpic clones of which the ancestral origin remains to be clarified.
