Silicon (Si) has been reported to be a beneficial element and shown to enhance disease resistance in many crops, although it is not regarded to be critical for plant growth and development. In this study, the potential effect of Si supplementation on resistance to banana xanthomonas wilt (BXW) di...

The banana Xanthomonas wilt epidemic in east and central Africa: current research and development efforts
Banana is the most popular and most exported fruit and also a major food crop for millions of people around the world. Despite its importance, research into this crop is limited and hence, it suffers from major disease threats. One of those is Panama disease or Fusarium wilt. In the previous cent...

Cultivated bananas (Musa spp.) have undergone domestication patterns involving crosses of wild progenitors followed by long periods of clonal propagation. Majority of cultivated bananas are polyploids with different constitutive subgenomes and knowledge on phylogenies to their progenitors at the ...
