Journal ArticleDOI

Recovery and regeneration of embryogenic cultures from female flowers of False Horn Plantain.

Agnès Grapin, +7 more
- 01 Jun 2000 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that somatic embryogenesis from immature flowers is suitable for genotypes of Musa with or without male buds, and Regeneration of plants was obtained either from somatic embryos directly isolated from embryogenic cultures or from suspensions after plating on a semi-solid medium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is chemical control of Mycosphaerella foliar diseases of banana sustainable

Luc De Lapeyre de Bellaire, +7 more
TL;DR: The development of chemical control strategies in Belize, Cameroon and the French West Indies over the past 20 years is described and the possibility of reversing fungicide resistance in order to reintroduce a more sustainable forecasting strategy may be a mid-term solution.
Book ChapterDOI

An integrated approach to control the black leaf streak disease (BLSD) of bananas, while reducing fungicide use and environmental impact

Jacky Ganry, +3 more
TL;DR: One of the main problems of the bananas industry is that it relies on a very narrow genetic base, the Cavendish subgroup, which is exposing the industry to important pest and disease threats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agro-ecological intensification in banana and plantain (Musa spp.): an approach to develop more sustainable cropping systems for both smallholder farmers and large-scale commercial producers.

François-Xavier Côte, +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that agro-ecological intensification is easily applicable in export bananas and serves to reduce losses, optimize crop residue breakdown and symbiotic nitrogen fixation, and promote crop health.
Journal ArticleDOI

New approaches to select cultivars of banana with durable resistance to Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases

Catherine Abadie, +8 more
TL;DR: A complete 4-steps process allows, through experimental approaches, to select banana cultivars with durable resistance against Mycosphaerella leaf spot diseases.
