Gene expression analysis by reverse transcriptase real-time or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is becoming widely used for nonmodel plant species. Given the high sensitivity of this method, normalization using multiple housekeeping or reference genes is critical, and careful sele...

This manual describes the key post-harvest criteria and methods/procedures for routine selection of new Musa hybrids. There are many post-harvest criteria for screening new banana, cooking banana and plantain hybrids, however the major ones include : post-harvest characteristics at harvest, fruit...
In most regions of the world, nematodes are recognized as important pests of bananas. Because banana nematodes attack the root and/or corm tissues, plant growth and yield are affected. The objective of these technical guidelines is to stimulate interest in nematode resistance and tolerance screen...

Micropropagation techniques have the potential to deliver
large amounts of propagules of vegetatively propagated
plantain and banana, enabling the rapid dissemination of
land races and new varieties resulting from breeding
programs. However, a critical stage in the realization of this
potential i...

Banana xanthomonas wilt (BXW) remains a major threat to banana, an important food and income crop for 12 million poor small-holder farmers in Uganda. Although, BXW has been controlled to some extent in parts of South-western Uganda, it is still a big problem in banana growing areas of Central and...
