Financing, handling, hardening and marketing of tissue culturederived planting material through nurseries: the case of banana and plantain in Kenya, Uganda and Burundi
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...

Endophyte enhanced banana tissue culture: technology transfer through publicprivate partnerships in Kenya and Uganda
Three bioassays were conducted to investigate the antagonistic effect of secondary metabolites produced by 5 endophytic Fusarium oxysporum isolates from banana (Musa spp.) plants in Kenya, against Pratylenchus goodeyi. Percentage paralyses were recorded 3, 6 and 24 h after exposure to culture fil...
