Banana Xanthomonas wilt, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, is a new threat to banana cultivation in eastern Africa. The causal bacterium grows slowly in culture and is easily overgrown by contaminants. A selective culture medium for isolation of X. c. pv. musacearum will facilitate...

The cultivation of genetically modified crops is becoming increasingly important; more traits are emerging and more acres than ever before are being planted with GM varieties. The release of GM crops and products in the markets worldwide has increased the regulatory need to monitor and verify the...
An efficient, simple, and rapid regeneration system was
established for bananas (Musa sp.) using sections of corm containing intercalary
meristematic tissues as explants. Six different cultivars of banana
(‘Mpologoma’, ‘Nakitembe’, ‘Mbwazirume’, ‘Pisang awak’, ‘Sukali
ndiizi’, and ‘FHIA-17’) with...

The banana Xanthomonas wilt disease (BXW) has threatened the livelihood of millions of farmers in East Africa. Use of resistant varieties is the most cost-effective method of managing this bacterial disease. A reliable and rapid screening method is needed to select resistant banana varieties. An ...

Enset (Ensete ventricosum), also known as Ethiopian banana, is a food security crop for more than 20 million people in Ethiopia. As conventional breeding of enset is very challenging, genetic engineering is an alternative option to introduce important traits such as enhanced disease resistance an...

Bananas and plantains (Musa sp.) are the most important staple food and source of carbohydrates in many countries of Africa. The production is often constrained by many pests and diseases. In order to augment conventional breeding and to avoid constraints imposed by some pests and pathogens, tran...
Medicinal plants are the most important source of life saving drugs for the majority of the world's population. The biotechnological tools are important to select, multiply and conserve the critical genotypes of medicinal plants. In-vitro regeneration holds tremendous potential for the production...
Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) is a devastating disease of bananas in Uganda and across the Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa. While use of disease-free suckers is recognized as important to control BXW, bacterial movement from infe...
