In the more developed countries, genetically engineered crops contributegreatly to agricultural productivity and sustainability. Over the last few years, thelargest growth in the adoption of genetically engineered crops has been in developingcountries and this trend is expected to continue. The m...

Genetically engineered bananas resistant to Xanthomonas wilt disease and nematodes
Bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) provide 25 % of the food energy requirements for more than 100 million people in Africa. Plant parasitic nematodes cause severe losses to the crop due to lack of control options. The sterile nature of Musa spp. hampers conventional breeding but makes the crop sui...
