The Evolving Threat of Fusarium Wilt TR4 to Small-Scale Mixed Cultivar Banana Production in the Red River Basin of Northern Vietnam [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Fusarium wilt (Foc) TR4 was first reported in Northern Vietnam in 2018. Since then, it has rapidly spread across most northern provinces along the Red River basin banana production landscapes, impacting Cavendish (Musa AAA genome) production.

Genome Sequencing of Musa acuminata Dwarf Cavendish Reveals a Duplication of a Large Segment of Chromosome 2

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Different Musa species, subspecies, and cultivars are currently investigated to reveal their genomic diversity. Here, we compare the genome sequence of one of the commercially most important cultivars, Musa acuminata Dwarf Cavendish, against the Pahang ...

Transgene-Free, Gene-Edited Cavendish Bananas (Musa acuminata, AAA). [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Global consumer acceptance of gene‐edited food crops is increasing with new breeding technologies that can modify the genome without foreign DNA integration. Here, we report an Agrobacterium‐based system for transgene‐free, gene editing of the banana cultivar, Cavendish.

Bio-Accessibility of Phenolic Compounds from Green Banana-Fortified Bread During Simulated Digestion and Colonic Fermentation [PDF]

Molecules
Functional foods are gaining heightened popularity in diet modifications. Green bananas contain a significant quantity of resistant starch, dietary fibre, and phytochemicals that demonstrate strong antioxidant properties, particularly due to the high ...

Molecular cloning and defence functional analysis of MaNPR11 from Cavendish banana (Musa spp.) [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Bananas (Musa spp.) are globally critical economic crops, but the commercially dominant Cavendish cultivars are highly susceptible to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), a destructive soil-borne pathogen.

Banana breeding by genome design. [PDF]

J Integr Plant Biol
Bananas and plantains likely originated from hybridizations of four wild Musa species. This review highlights advances in banana genomics, genetics, and breeding, emphasizing genome sequencing breakthroughs and genomic‐assisted tools like selection and gene editing, and explores future prospects for improving key agronomic traits.

QCAV-4, the first genetically modified Cavendish (cv. Grand Nain) banana resistant to Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 approved for commercial production and consumption. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Bananas (Musa spp.) are a major fruit crop worldwide, with the Cavendish cultivar dominating the export industries, which are based primarily in the Americas and the Philippines. The sustainability of banana production in these, and other regions, is under threat from the fungal disease Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 (TR4) which kills Cavendish ...

Genome-wide association studies reveal genetic diversity and regulatory loci underlying dwarfing traits in banana. [PDF]

J Integr Plant Biol
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 ...

Unravelling genomic drivers of speciation in Musa through genome assemblies of wild banana ancestors [PDF]

Nature Communications
Hybridization between wild Musa species and subspecies from Southeast Asia is at the origin of cultivated bananas. The genomes of these cultivars are complex mosaics involving nine genetic groups, including two previously unknown contributors. This study
