A multi-mycotoxin method based on liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for a mycotoxin survey in 627 samples of processed cassava collected from different districts across Tanzania and Rwanda after the method performance for this matrix had been determined. Matrix ef...

Xanthomonas campestris pathovar musacearum (Xcm) is the causal agent of bananaXanthomonas wilt, a major threat to banana production in eastern and central Africa. Thepathogen is present in very high levels within infected plants and can be transmitted by abroad range of mechanisms; therefore earl...

Development of a lateral flow device for infield detection and evaluation of PCR based diagnostic methods for Xanthomonas campestris pathovar musacearum, the causal agent of banana Xanthomonas wilt.
The effect of exogenous applications of potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and nitrogen (N) on the susceptibility of four banana cultivars to Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) was studied. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with normal concentrations of K at 783 mg/liter, Ca at 121 mg/liter, and N at 841 mg/l...

Global crop production needs to double by 2050 inorder to meet demands from rising populations, diet shifts andbiofuels. Production must increase through more efficient useof currently available arable land to prevent encroachment onland that otherwise provides vital services to the earth and its...
