Plantain (Musa spp., AAB group) is a staple food crop in the humid forest regions of West and Central Africa. Its cultivation is threatened by black leaf streak (BLS), an air‐borne fungal leaf spot disease, caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. An on‐farm survey for BLS severity in relation...

Intraplant variation in sympton expression and distribution of banana streak badnavirus in naturallyinfected plantain and banana ( Musa spp.)
Between 1991 to 1996, more than 50 Musa hybrids and 10 landraces were evaluated under field and screenhouse conditions for virus symptoms resembling those caused by banana streak badnavirus (BSV). The symptoms included chlorotic streaks, leaf deformation, stunting, cigar leaf death, distortion of...

Black leaf streak (BLS), an airborne fungal Black leaf streak, caused byMycosphaerella fijiensisMorelet, is a major constraint to plantain production. Owing to limitations associated with the use of chemicals in Africa, development of resistant cultivars seems to be an appropriate approach to con...
