Black leaf streak ( Mycosphaerella fijiensis ) in Uganda
Plant Pathology, 1993The occurrence of black leaf streak caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis is reported on a number of banana cultivars in Uganda, demonstrating the spread of the disease from West and Central to East Africa since the early 1980s.

Optimized genotyping with microsatellite markers in the fungal banana pathogen Mycosphaerella fijiensis (Mycosphaerellaceae) [PDF]
• Premise of the study: Large‐scale population genetics studies are required to investigate the dispersal processes underlying the emergence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, a fungal pathogen of banana. To this end, we have developed an optimized genotyping procedure combining novel microsatellite markers and a modified DNA extraction protocol.• Methods ...

The levels of native fungitoxic perinaphthenone phytoalexins in susceptible Musa varieties (banana), which are commercially grown in large plantations, are too low to provide plants with long-lasting protection against highly pathogenic fungi. Novel strategies for plant protection are necessary to reduce crop losses and to prevent the development of ...

Microsatellite markers for the fungal banana pathogens, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, Mycosphaerella musicola and Mycosphaerella eumusae [PDF]
We developed a total of 50 microsatellite markers for the three fungal pathogens causing the most important leaf spot diseases of banana: 32 loci for Mycosphaerella fijiensis are presented, and nine loci each for Mycosphaerella musicola and Mycosphaerella eumusae.

4‐Phenylphenalenones as a template for new photodynamic compounds against Mycosphaerella fijiensis
Pest Management Science, 2015AbstractBACKGROUNDEvaluation of 4‐phenylphenalenones and structural analogues against the fungal pathogen Mycosphaerella fijiensis (causal agent of black sigatoka disease in bananas) under light‐controlled conditions uncovered some key structural features for the design of photodynamic compounds.RESULTSStructure–activity relationship analysis revealed ...

Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite markers for the fungal banana pathogen Mycosphaerella fijiensis
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2008AbstractFourteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for Mycosphaerella fijiensis, a fungus causing the black sigatoka disease in banana. The sequenced genome of M. fijiensis was screened for sequences with single sequence repeats (SSRs) using a Perl script. Fourteen SSR loci, evaluated on 48 M.

Mycosphaerella fijiensis, a hemibiotrophic fungus, is the causal agent of black leaf streak disease, the most serious foliar disease of bananas and plantains. To analyze the compatible interaction of M. fijiensis with Musa spp., a suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) cDNA library was constructed to identify transcripts induced at late stages of ...

The draft genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis
2010Mycosphaerella fijiensis (anamorph: Paracercospora fijiensis) is a hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen of banana and the causal agent of the devastating Black Sigatoka or black leaf streak disease. Its control frequently requires weekly fungicide applications when bananas are grown under disease-conducive conditions, which mostly represent precarious ...

Antifungal activity of Musa phyllosphere Bacillus pumilus strain against Mycosphaerella fijiensis
Tropical Plant Pathology, 2017Black leaf streak disease (BLSD; also known as black Sigatoka) caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet is one of the main diseases affecting banana trees worldwide. Associated microorganisms in the phylloplane have been previously studied for their control.
