A specific and rapid diagnostic tool has been developed to detect Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt of banana. PCR primers were developed from intergenic regions of X. campestris pv. musacearum following its partial sequence. A total of 48 primers were test...

Development of a specific molecular tool for detecting Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum
Xanthomonas wilt, caused by Xanthomonascampestris pv. musacearum has, since 2001, becomethe most important and widespread disease of Musa inEast and Central Africa. Over the past decade, newresearch findings and especially feedback from smallscalefarmers have helped in fine-tuning Xanthomonaswilt...

Finetuning banana Xanthomonas wilt control options over the past decade in East and Central Africa
Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW), caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv.musacearum (Xcm), is the most devastating disease of banana in east and central Africa. Thespread of BXW threatens the livelihood of millions of African farmers who depend on bananafor food security and income. There...

A digital camera fitted with a hemispherical lens was used to generate canopy leaf area index (LAI) values for a banana (Musa spp.) field trial with the aim of establishing a method for monitoring stresses on tall crop plants. The trial in Uganda consisted of two cultivars susceptible to nematode...

Banana production in Africa's great lakes region is threatened by the Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, a biotrophic pathogen. Transgenic banana plants, cv. “Gonja manjaya,” expressing stacked hypersensitive response-assisting protein gene (HRA...

East Africa is the largest banana producing and consuming region in Africa. In particular, the East
African Highland Banana serves as the major staple crop of countries like Uganda, but production is
constrained by a number of serious pests and diseases. Banana breeding is a very difficult and sl...
