Musa balbisiana is a wild banana genotype with important traits such as drought tolerance and disease resistance. Uniform and clean plants are often required to study these traits in different laboratories but plants can only be generated through a tissue culture process yet for a long time a pro...

Fine-tuning banana Xanthomonas wilt control options over the past decade in East and Central Africa
It is imperative to systematically evaluate new banana genotypes in different locations before national release. This enables selection and recommendation of superior genotypes as new varieties for a wider range of environments. The objective of the present study was to select banana genotypes wi...

Selection of cooking banana genotypes for yield and black Sigatoka resistance in different locations in Uganda
Banana is a key crop in the livelihoods of many people in the Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa. For more than a decade now, the crop has been threatened by Banana Xanthomonas Wilt (BXW) which has spread throughout the region but at different rates. The disease attacks all banana cult...

Rapid, specific, simple, in-field detection of Xanthomonas campestris pathovar musacearum by loop-mediated isothermal amplification
Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) is a devastating bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum. The disease was simultaneously reported in Cankuzo and Bubanza provinces, Burundi, in November 2010. However, the extent to which the disease has spread to other banana growing region...
