Long noncoding RNAs that respond to Fusarium oxysporum infection in ‘Cavendish’ banana (Musa acuminata) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of genes that influence a variety of biological functions through acting as signal, decoy, guide, and scaffold molecules. In banana (Musa spp.), an important economic fruit crop, particularly in Southeast Asia, the wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), especially strain Foc TR4,

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5555-5566, June 2026.Mineral oil droplets spread anisotropically, penetrate banana leaf tissues, and diffuse into the palisade parenchyma, revealing a delayed, Fickian mechanism that supports improved phytosanitary spray strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND Efficient application of phytosanitary sprays is essential for sustainable control of foliar fungal diseases such as Black

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4174-4189, June 2026.ABSTRACT Plant regeneration is governed by intrinsic gene regulation and phytohormonal cues. WUSCHEL (WUS) gene promotes regeneration, but its broader functional role remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the constitutive and inducible expression of banana‐derived WUS2 (GN‐WUS2) enhances regeneration in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) and Musa ...

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 5, May 2026.This study tested whether coppery titi monkeys respond positively to plants like humans. The findings show that exposure to live plants reduced stereotypic behaviors, increased affiliative interactions—especially grooming—and attracted more visual attention, suggesting that plants may serve as effective enrichment for titi monkeys and reflect an ...

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.This study integrates smartphone‐based AI diagnostics with LAMP molecular confirmation for banana disease surveillance across Sub‐Saharan Africa. By enabling real‐time phenotypic screening, detection of asymptomatic BBTV infections, and centralized geospatial data integration, the platform transforms field‐level diagnostics into a scalable biosecurity ...

Scientific Reports, 2019 Leaf pathogens are limiting factors in banana (Musa spp.) production, with Pseudocercospora spp. responsible for the important Sigatoka disease complex. In order to investigate cellular processes and genes involved in host defence responses, quantitative

Helvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.Breakdown of chlorophyll (Chl) is a fundamental biological phenomenon. In de‐greening banana leaves, Chl is transformed into colorless “fluorescent” Chl‐catabolites (FCCs) that cause the leaves to luminesce blue. Hypothesis‐driven search for apolar banana‐FCCs, and structure elucidation, have revealed a striking first link between lipid metabolism and ...

Anticancer effect of modified banana (Musa cavendish AAA) starch in rats with 1-2 dimethylhydrazine [PDF]
Nutrición Hospitalaria, 2019 Introduction: resistant starch (RS) is not completely digested in the human intestine but is fermented in the colon; intestinal pH decreases as short-chain fatty acids are produced. This is beneficial for health, and for preventing and treating rectal colon cancer. Pyrodextrinization and enzymatic hydrolysis are modifications to native starch (NS) that

Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics, 2023 Banana is one of the most consumed fruits in the world. Musa cavendish and Musa paradisiaca cultivars differential nutrition-health properties and more specifically their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential are poorly known. The objective of the present study was to compare the hydroalcoholic dry extracts nutrition-health properties of these ...

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 ...
