Sustainable treatment of banana leaves for phytosanitary applications: impact, spreading, and impregnation of mineral oil

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
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

Investigating chromosomal structural variations in Musa acuminate using NGS approaches : [W077] [PDF]

, 2014
Structural heterozygosity is thought to be one of the main causes of sterility in banana (Musa spp.) hybrids. These structural variations impact chromosomal segregation and recombination, limiting crossing possibilities and complicating genetic analyses.

Endophytic bacterial diversity in banana 'Prata Anã' (Musa spp.) roots [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2013
The genetic diversity of endophytic bacteria in banana 'Prata Anã' roots was characterized. Two hundred and one endophytic bacteria were isolated, 151 of which were classified as Gram-positive and 50 as Gram-negative. No hypersensitivity response was observed in any of the isolates.
