Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, is one of the most important diseases of banana (Musa sp.) and currently considered as the biggest threat to banana production in Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa. The pathogen is highly contagious and it...
Black Sigatoka disease, caused by Pseudocercospora fijiensis is a serious constraint to banana production worldwide. The disease continues to spread in new ecological niches and there is an urgent need to develop strategies for its control. The high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway in Saccharomy...
Enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is one of the Ethiopia’s indigenous sustainability crops supporting the livelihoods of about 20 million people, mainly in the densely populated South and Southwestern parts of the country. Enset serves as a food security crop for humans, animal feed, an...
An Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation system was developed for the production of transgenic plantain [Musa spp. cultivar Agbagba (AAB)]. Apical shoot tips were transformed using Agrobacterium strain EHA105 with the binary vector pCAMBIA 1201, having the hygromycin resistance gene as a se...
A specific and rapid diagnostic tool has been developed to detect Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt of banana. PCR primers were developed from intergenic regions of X. campestris pv. musacearum following its partial sequence. A total of 48 primers were test...
Investigations were conducted to select the appropriate Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains for efficient transformation of the banana cultivar ‘Williams’. Three A. tumefaciens strains (EHA105, C58, and GV2260) were used for the study. The ability of these strains to transfer β-glucuronidase (GUS) ...
The banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) disease, caused by the bacteriumXanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (XCM), endangers the livelihoods ofmillions of farmers in the Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa. Thedisease was first identified in Uganda in 2001 and has since then also been repor...
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...
Banana production in Eastern Africa is threatened by the presence of a new devastating bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas vasicola pv. musacearum (formerly Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum).
