Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases of bananas: present status and outlook: Proceedings of the 2nd international workshop on Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases held in San José, Costa Rica, 20-23 may 2002
In the 1990s, innovative cross-breeding and classic genetic analysis of segregation ratios allowed advances in the understanding of host plant response to black leaf streak disease. Partial resistance owing to a recessive major gene (bs1 ) coupled with at least two additive minor genes (bsri ) ap...

Genetic improvement for the sustainable management of resistance
Use of resistant host genotypes is an important component of an integrated approach to control black sigatoka, a disease caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. The objective of the present research was to determine the role of the major gene for black sigatoka resistance (bs1) in ...

Effect of the bs 1 gene in plantainbanana hybrids on response to black sigatoka
Bananas (Musa spp. AAA group) are an important food and a source of income for farmers in tropical countries. Black sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet), a fungal leaf spot disease, is the major production constraint worldwide. The replacement of most of the susceptible banana landraces re...
