Genome-wide association studies reveal genetic diversity and regulatory loci underlying dwarfing traits in banana. [PDF]
The introgression of Musa itinerans into cultivated banana varieties has expanded their genetic diversity, enhancing breeding potential. Genome‐wide association studies and functional validation confirmed the transcription factor gene MabHLH30 as a critical regulator of plant stature, enabling the implementation of marker‐assisted selection to ...

A MaERF110-MaMYB308 Transcriptional Module Negatively Regulates Lignin-Mediated Defence Against Fusarium Wilt in Banana. [PDF]
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 ...
