The effects of Radopholus similis and Pratylenchus goodeyi on growth, root health and yield of the East African highland cooking banana cultivar Mbwazirume (Musa AAA-group) were compared at Mbarara, Uganda, at 1430 m above sea level. In 3-year-old mats infected only with P. goodeyi, functional ro...

Transgenic banana (Musa acuminata 'Gros Michel') integrating either of two rice chitinase genes was generated and its resistance to Black Leaf Streak disease caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis was tested using a leaf disk bioassay. PCR screening indicated the presence of the hpt select...

The annual harvest of banana and plantain (Musa spp.) is approximately 145 million tons worldwide. About 85% of
this global production comes from small plots and kitchen or backyard gardens from the developingworld, and only
15% goes to the export trade. Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana are the...
