Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.[Banana tissue culture: community dissemination pathways for delivery of high quality planting material to create markets for African farmers]Banana tissue culture: community dissemination pathways for delivery of high quality planting material to create markets for African farmers

Radopholus similisis a major pest of East African highland cooking bananas (Musaspp.) in Uganda. Non-pathogenic Fusariumoxysporumendophytes, isolated from bananas in farmers’ fields, have shown potential to reduceR. Similis numbers in tissue culture banana. The mechanism through which endophyte...


Paparu, P.Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.Viljoen, A.[Defenserelated gene expression in susceptible and tolerant bananas (Musa spp.) following inoculation with nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum endophytes and challenge with Radopholus similis]Defenserelated gene expression in susceptible and tolerant bananas (Musa spp.) following inoculation with nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum endophytes and challenge with Radopholus similis

Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, an entomopathogenic fungus, can exist asymptomatically as an endophyte in banana (Musa spp.) and potentially provide management against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar). However, in order to optimize its biological control potential when dep...


Akello, J.Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.Kyamanywa, S.[The effects of Beauveria bassiana dose and exposure duration on colonization and growth of tissue cultured banana (Musa sp.) plants]The effects of Beauveria bassiana dose and exposure duration on colonization and growth of tissue cultured banana (Musa sp.) plants

The lack of clean planting material is a major constraint for banana production in East and Central Africa. When establishing new fields, tissue culture plantlets will reduce damage by banana pests and diseases. Pest infestation or reinfestation, however, remains a vital concern. Fungal endophyte...


Dubois, T.Coyne, D.L.Kahangi, E.Turoop, L.Nsubuga, E.[Endophyte enhanced banana tissue culture: technology transfer through publicprivate partnerships in Kenya and Uganda]Endophyte enhanced banana tissue culture: technology transfer through publicprivate partnerships in Kenya and Uganda

In 1990, observations were made on the nematode species profile on bananas in Oyugis district, Kenya. The country-wide survey was conducted in 1993 across 13 primary Musa growing districts. Observations were made on banana cultivars Nakyetengu (AAA) and Sukali Ndizi (AB). Considerable variation i...


Reddy, K.S.Prasad, J.S.Speijer, P.Sikora, R.A.Coyne, D.L.[Distribution of plantparasitic nematodes on Musa in Kenya]Distribution of plantparasitic nematodes on Musa in Kenya

Beauveria bassiana is considered a virulent pathogen against the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus. However, current field application techniques for effective control against this pest remain a limitation and an alternative method for effective field application needs to be investigated. Three...


Akello, J.Dubois, T.Gold, C.S.Coyne, D.L.Nakavuma, J.Paparu, P.[Beauveria bassiana (balsamo) vuillemin as an endophyte in tissue 3 culture banana (Musa spp.)]Beauveria bassiana (balsamo) vuillemin as an endophyte in tissue 3 culture banana (Musa spp.)

Crop growth and damage parameters (plant growth and yield, root damage and nematode population densities), believed to be associated with resistance of Musa genotypes to nematodes under field conditions, were evaluated in a field trial of 24 Musa genotypes inoculated at planting with a combinatio...


Hartman, J.B.Vuylsteke, D.R.Speijer, P.R.Ssango, F.Coyne, D.L.Waele, D. de[Measurement of the field response of Musa genotypes to Radopholus similis and Helicotylenchus multicinctus and the implications for nematode resistance breeding]Measurement of the field response of Musa genotypes to Radopholus similis and Helicotylenchus multicinctus and the implications for nematode resistance breeding

Endophytic fungi colonize most plants, causing no damage to their hosts, and often extending benefits, such as enhanced protection against various biotic and abiotic constraints. In the current study, three experiments assessed the activity of secondary metabolites of three strains of endophytic ...


Dessel, P. vanCoyne, D.L.Dubois, T.Waele, D. deFranco, J.[In vitro nematicidal effect of endophytic Fusarium oxysporum against Radopholus similis, Pratylenchus goodeyi and Helicotylenchus multicinctus]In vitro nematicidal effect of endophytic Fusarium oxysporum against Radopholus similis, Pratylenchus goodeyi and Helicotylenchus multicinctus

Plant parasitic nematodes impose losses of up to 70% on plantains and cooking bananas in Africa. Application of nematicides is inappropriate and resistant cultivars are unavailable. Where grown, demand for plantain is more than for other staple crops. Confined field testing demonstrated that tran...


Tripathi, L.Babirye, A.Roderick, H.Tripathi, J.N.Changa, C.Urwin, P.E.Tushemereirwe, W.K.Coyne, D.L.Atkinson, H.J.[Field resistance of transgenic plantain to nematodes has potential for future African food security]Field resistance of transgenic plantain to nematodes has potential for future African food security
