Summary To facilitate infection, pathogens deploy a plethora of effectors to suppress basal host immunity induced by exogenous microbe‐associated or endogenous damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In this study, we have characterized family 17 glycosyl hydrolases of the tomato pathogen Cladosporium fulvum (CfGH17) and studied their role in ...

Farming System and Nematodes Affect the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Tropical Banana Plants
The banana crops showed a core microbiome of 77 ASV, mostly belonging to Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Bacilli. Specific groups of bacteria and fungi were linked to each nematode species or feeding group, with a core microbiome of correlated taxa found only when considering nematodes by feeding groups.

Application of genetic modification and genome editing for developing climate‐smart banana
Banana is a major staple food crop feeding more than 500 million people in tropical and subtropical countries. Its production is largely constrained by diseases and pests in addition to other factors such as declining soil fertility, narrow genetic diversity in germplasm, and inadequate availability of clean planting material.

Genetic Improvement of Banana for Resistance to Xanthomonas Wilt in East Africa
ABSTRACT Banana (Musa spp.) is a staple food and income generation crop, feeding millions worldwide. However, the cultivation of bananas is challenging due to biotic and abiotic production constraints. Among these factors are pests and diseases, especially banana bacterial disease.

Dispersal processes underlying the recent pandemic caused by the plant pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis [PDF]
How plant pathogenic fungi spread is the first question to consider for understanding the emergence of diseases caused by such organisms. Mycosphaerella fijiensis causing the black leaf streak disease of banana is an example of a recent pandemic in ...

Advance in the studies about Musa spp.-Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet interaction
Black leaf streak disease caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet [anamorfo: Pseudocercospora fijiensis (Morelet) Deighton], is considered the most destructive and costly foliar disease of bananas and plantain around the world. Taking into account the
