The banana (Musa acuminata) genome and the evolution of monocotyledonous plants

Angélique D'Hont, +71 more
- 09 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: This first monocotyledon high-continuity whole-genome sequence reported outside Poales represents an essential bridge for comparative genome analysis in plants and clarifies commelinid-monocotYledon phylogenetic relationships, reveals Poaceae-specific features and has led to the discovery of conserved non-coding sequences predating monocotinoid–eudicotylingon divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fusarium wilt of banana: Current knowledge on epidemiology and research needs toward sustainable disease management

TL;DR: The current knowledge on the epidemiology of FW of banana is summarized, highlighting knowledge gaps in pathogen survival and dispersal, factors driving disease intensity, soil and plant microbiome and the dynamics of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biotechnology approaches to overcome biotic and abiotic stress constraints in legumes

TL;DR: The current status of biotechnology approaches in relation to biotic and abiotic stresses in legumes and how these useful tools could be used to improve resistance to important constraints affecting legume crops are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

A molecular diagnostic for tropical race 4 of the banana fusarium wilt pathogen

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed genomic variation of the translation elongation factor 1α (TEF-1α) and the intergenic spacer region (IGS) of the nuclear ribosomal operon of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) isolates, from different banana production areas, representing strains within the known races, comprising 20 vegetative compatibility groups (VCG).
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial Diseases of Bananas and Enset: Current State of Knowledge and Integrated Approaches Toward Sustainable Management

TL;DR: This review describes global distribution, symptoms, pathogenic diversity, epidemiology and the state of the art for sustainable disease management of the major bacterial wilts currently affecting banana and enset.
