Viruses are important constraints to the movement and propagation of plant germplasm, especially for vegetatively propagated crops such as banana and plantain. Their control relies primarily on the use of virus-free plant material, whose production and certification requires sensitive and reliable
Banana bract mosaic (BBMV) is a relatively new, non-persistently aphid transmitted disease of bananas in the Philippines. Partially purified preparations from infected plants contained low numbers of flexuous virions, 660 to 760 nm in length, and a 38kDa protein, possibly the coat protein, which
BACKGROUND
In fleshy fruits, induced programmed cell death (PCD) has been observed in heat-treated tomato, and in ethylene-treated and low-temperature exposure in immature cucumber. No other fleshy fruit has been evaluated for chilling-injury-induced PCD, especially mature fruit with full ripening
Wild banana species are essential natural gene pools for banana improvement. In this study, six RGAs about 500 bp were obtained from leaves of Musa acuminata, a wild banana shown to be resistant to banana Fusarium wilt race 4, by PCR amplification with degenerate primers designed according to the
SUMMARY Idiomorphs mat1-1 and mat1-2 from Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana, were isolated. Degenerate oligos were used to amplify the HMG box of the mat1-2 idiomorph from M. fijiensis, showing homology with the HMG box of Mycosphaerella graminicola.
The aim of this work was obtaining layer and sponge cakes formulated with corn flour replaced by green banana flour and to determine the best substitution proportions to achieve nutritionally improved products and with texture and sensory characteristics acceptable. The replacement of corn flour by
Five types of cellular aggregates have been characterised in embryogenic cell suspensions of banana (Musa AAA Grande naine cv.). Type I corresponded to isolated cells or to small cell aggregates. Type II were composed of embryogenic cells. Type III can be distinguished from type II due to the
Fenjiao (Musa ABB Pisang Awak) is a popular banana cultivar due to its good taste and stress resistance, but it has a short shelf-life and deteriorates rapidly post-harvest. The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on fruit physiology and quality and transcriptomic profiles are
The goal of a fusion of the lumbar spine is to obtain a primary solid arthrodesis thus to alleviate pain. Different circumferential fusion techniques have been described such as combined anterior-posterior fusion (APF), instrumented posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumbar
In October of 2005, a field survey was done in the province of Piura in northern Peru to determine the cause of a disease known locally as "mosaico" that was affecting organic Cavendish banana (Musa AAA) grown for the export market. Disease symptoms consisted of pronounced chlorotic and
The tomato Pto gene encodes a serine/threonine kinase (STK) whose molecular characterization has provided valuable insights into the disease resistance mechanism of tomato and it is considered as a promising candidate for engineering broad-spectrum pathogen resistance in this crop. In this study, a
OBJECTIVE
Chilling tolerance of salicylic acid (SA) in banana seedlings (Musa acuminata cv., Williams 8818) was investigated by changes in ultrastructure in this study.
METHODS
Light and electron microscope observation.
RESULTS
Pretreatment with 0.5 mmol/L SA under normal growth conditions (30/22
Commercial banana varieties are highly susceptible to fungal pathogens, as well as bacterial pathogens, nematodes, viruses, and insect pests. The largest known family of plant resistance genes encodes proteins with nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains.
Banana boat rides are a popular form of recreation worldwide. Recommendations that speed should not exceed 15 mph, passengers should wear protective gear, and an observer should be present on the towing boat are generally ignored. Medical personnel at tourist venues and general practitioners may not
ABSTRACT Using biochemical, serological, and cytopathological evidence, we have confirmed that banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV) is a distinct member of the family Potyviridae. Virions of a Philippine isolate of BBrMV were purified from field-infected banana cv. Cardaba. Particles were approximately
