Analysis of non-TIR NBS-LRR resistance gene analogs in Musa acuminata Colla: Isolation, RFLP marker development, and physical mapping [PDF]

, 2008
Background Many commercial banana varieties lack sources of resistance to pests and diseases, as a consequence of sterility and narrow genetic background. Fertile wild relatives, by contrast, possess greater variability and represent potential sources of

The Biology of Musa spp.

, 2023
Introduction The plantain, often known as the banana, is a large herbaceous plant native to the South Pacific. The plant itself has a slightly confusing taxonomic classification. In general, "banana" refers to plants that produce a sweeter variety of fruit commonly consumed raw, such as the "desert bananas" which account for most of the fruits consumed

Environmental physiology of the bananas (Musa spp.) [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2007
The bananas are thought to be particularly sensitive to changes in the environment. This review considers some historical and recent investigations into the response of the leaf, root and reproductive system to the environment. Monteith's analysis of the response of plants to intercepted radiation is appropriate for analyzing the productivity of ...

Assessment of RNAi-induced silencing in banana (Musa spp.) [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2014
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. Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) or the RNA interference (RNAi) approach has been achieved in a wide range of plant species

(2R,5S)-theaspirane identified as the kairomone for the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, from attractive senesced leaves of the host banana, Musa spp. [PDF]

, 2018
The principal active component produced by highly attractive senesced host banana leaves, Musa spp., for the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, is shown by coupled gas chromatography‐electroantennography (GC‐EAG), coupled GC‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS),
