TL;DR: The updated taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales is presented, with non-Latinized binomial species names replaced all paramyxovirus and pneumovirus species names, thereby accomplishing application of binomial Species names throughout the entire order.

TL;DR: In this article, the identification of transgenic Cavendish with resistance to Tropical Race 4 (TR4) was reported, and two lines were transformed with RGA2, a gene isolated from a TR4-resistant diploid banana, and the other with a nematode-derived gene, Ced9.

TL;DR: The results from this study suggest that early activation of the rate‐limiting enzyme in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway and extended fruit maturation time are essential factors to achieve optimal PVA concentrations in banana fruit.

TL;DR: This technique was shown to discriminate between integrated and episomal BSV DNA, specifically detecting the latter in several banana cultivars known to contain episomal or integrated sequences of Banana streak Mysore virus, Banana streak OL virus, and Banana streak GF virus.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sequences with high similarity to BSIMV only were present in several banana cultivars which had tested negative for episomal BSV sequences, and it is proposed that these sequences be recognised as six new species and be designated as Banana streak UA virus, Banana streak UI virus, banana streak UL virus, bananas streak UM virus and Banana streak IM virus.
