  • History of the Banana
    History of the Banana Bananas: The Same The World Over Banana is the common name for the fruit and herbaceous plant that is part of the genus Musa. Bananas are one of the world’s oldest and most popular fruits. They are very nutritious, generally inexpensive, and readily available. The banana plant is a large flowering plant that grows 6–7 meters tall. Each plant produces a bunch of bananas from a flowering stem. Whether eating a ripe banana in the United States or in Europe, these store-bought bananas tend to taste the same. Part of the banana’s popularity is due to its predictably delicious flavor. However, the uniformity that makes the banana so popular could also lead to its demise. A bunch of bananas hangs from the main stem of the Banana History plant. As humans’ hunter-gatherer ancestors roamed the jungle collecting food, they ignored the bananas they found. Wild bananas, which flower and reproduce sexually, produce hard seed cases with inedible seeds inside. Occasionally, prehistoric humans found fruit on wild banana plants that did not contain seeds. These seedless bananas, when peeled, contained sweet, edible flesh. This is the edible banana that people know and enjoy today. Today’s edible banana is a genetic mutation. The mutation produces tasty fruit but prevents proper seed development. The dark lines sometimes seen after biting into a banana are the stunted seeds. Banana Sexual Reproduction In nature, bananas reproduce through sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in flowering plants is similar to sexual reproduction in animals. Sperm cells are produced inside pollen grains.

  • Panama Disease
    Fact sheet Panama disease What is Panama disease? Panama disease (also known as fusarium wilt) is caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense. There are four races of the fungus: • Race 1 infects Lady Finger, Sugar and Ducasse, but not Cavendish • Race 2 generally infects cooking bananas like Bluggoe and Blue Java • Race 3 infects only Heliconia species and not bananas • Race 4 infects most varieties including Cavendish. There are two important strains of this race: – Subtropical Race 4 usually produces symptoms in Cavendish after a period of cold stress – Tropical Race 4 is a serious threat to the Australian Cavendish banana industry Panama disease is considered to be the most destructive disease of banana in modern times. Subtropical race 4 has been under quarantine control in south east Queensland, northern New South Wales and Western Australia for some time. Tropical race 4, which has rapidly spread throughout South East Asia, has been detected in the Darwin area, and is currently under strict quarantine control. Both strains represent a significant risk to the North Queensland production area, but Tropical race 4 is particularly devastating. What does it look like? The first external symptom of Panama is the irregular yellowing of the margins of older leaves, which later turn brown and dry out. These leaves eventually collapse along the leaf stalk or at the junction of the stalk and stem, resulting in a skirt of dead leaves forming around the lower part of the plant. Heart leaves may remain unusually upright giving the plant a spiky appearance.

Abstract Banana and plantain are among the most important commodities, both as staple food and as export crop, for many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) tropical race 4 (TR4), which is attacking banana in Asia, represents a threat to the export banana industry which in Latin America is based almost 100% on the Cavendish subgroup that is susceptible to Foc TR4. Production for national markets, based on apple banana, plantain and Gros Michel, is also under threat. Bioversity International has formed a strategic alliance with the Research and Development Network for Plantain and Banana for Latin America and the Caribbean (MUSALAC), the Regional Organization for Agriculture and Livestock Sanitation (OIRSA), the University of Florida and the Cuban Instituto Nacional de Investigacion de Sanidad Vegetal (INISAV) to launch an awareness campaign in order to prevent entrance of Foc TR4 into the Americas. The threat of Foc TR4 was first raised in the VII Steering Committee meeting of MUSALAC held in Panama in October 2007.

  • Panama Disease: an Old Nemesis Rears Its Ugly Head
    Feature Story October 2005 Panama Disease: An Old Nemesis Rears its Ugly Head Part 2. The Cavendish Era and Beyond Randy C. Ploetz University of Florida Tropical Research & Education Center 18905 SW 280th Street Homestead, FL 33031-3314 USA [email protected] The start of the banana export trades and the influence that Panama disease had on their development was discussed in the August feature article. The second part of this review begins with a brief introduction to banana taxonomy and diversity. Banana is a highly variable crop, and Panama disease impacts many of the different types that are grown. The current impact of Panama disease is summarized with special reference to tropical race 4 (TR4). TR4 affects cultivars that produce more than 80% of the world’s bananas, including the important Cavendish and plantain subgroups. If TR4 were to spread outside its current, limited range, its potential impact would be greater than that caused by race 1 during the ‘Gros Michel’ era (see August APSnet Feature). Also discussed is phylogenetic research on the causal fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (FOC). Recent work on formae speciales (ff. spp.) of F. oxysporum has provided useful insight into the origins and relatedness of these important plant pathogens. Since most of the ff. spp. affect closely related taxa it had been assumed that members of each were also closely related (13). Surprisingly, recent work indicates that this is not always the case. Many ff. spp. have been shown to have evolutionarily diverse backgrounds (20). These results have significant implications for the development of resistant host genotypes and, for FOC, make the challenging job of improving banana more difficult (43).

  • The United Fruit Company and the Story of Frontiers, Environment, and American Legacy, 1899-1930
    ‘Creating Wealth Out of the World’s Waste Spots’: The United Fruit Company and the Story of Frontiers, Environment, and American Legacy, 1899-1930 Justin Holme Department of History and Classical Studies McGill University, Montreal August, 2013 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts © Justin Holme 2013 2 Abstract Between 1899 and 1930 the United Fruit Company emerged as the world’s largest exporter of bananas. Initially dependent on the purchase of bananas through contracts with small-scale Native growers, the Company sought greater control over the quality and supply of its product. Transitioning itself into the production process and focusing on the establishment of its own sources of fruit, the Company began the construction of large-scale, export-driven, and industrialized plantations by 1910. In this process it embarked upon a new relationship with the tropical environments of the Caribbean Basin, which in turn presented environmental obstacles resistant to ecological change. Dedicated to creating wealth out of what it deemed as ‘waste spots,’ the United Fruit Company approached the task of plantation construction utilizing a cultural and conceptual framework that was a product of both historical influences, and eventually, by its own encounters with the environment. Drawing on under-utilized Company publications, this study explores the ways in which United Fruit developed a distinctly American cultural understanding of frontier environments. Perceiving Caribbean landscapes as ‘uncivilized’ and supposedly in need of improvement, the Company transposed American historical understandings of the environment in order to justify the creation of a productive and essentially Americanized version of Nature.

  • Ecuador Prepares for Spread of Panama Disease
    With the growing threat of Panama Disease's Tropical Race 4 (TR4) in the planet's top banana-growing regions, Ecuador's Biotechnology Research Center (CIBE) has begun to develop control measures against the deadly fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense. Program researchers Freddy A. Magdama and Lisette Hidalgo Pardo spoke with Ecuadorian banana truck, Photo: Magap www.freshfruitportal.com about Ecuador's vulnerability to Fusarium, the cause of Panama Disease. "Ecuador is the largest banana exporter in the world. The introduction of this species would cause great economic losses," they said. Fusarium attacks banana plantations through soil that infects plant roots and causes leaf wilting, as well as fruit discoloration. "Wilt is caused by obstruction of vascular bundles in the plant in response to the infection and pathogenic growth, which limits the transfer of water and the process of photosynthesis," the researchers explained. Currently, three strains of Panama Disease are known to attack banana cultivars. Race 1 affects species such as Manzano, Pisang Awak and Gros Michel, which took a fatal blow from the disease in the 1950s. Race 2 infects cooking bananas in the Bluggoe category. Race 4 has become the strain of greatest international concern. This version of the disease comes in two forms, Subtropical 4, which takes root in plantations under stress in subtropical zones, and Tropical 4, which impacts tropical zones, even with no additional stress present. Race 4 affects all varieties impacted by Race 1 and 2, as well as Cavendish cultivars, the leading commercial variety. Currently, the CIBE research team is analyzing the genetic diversity of Fusarium and its distribution in Ecuador.

  • How Can We Save Bananas from a Deadly Disease?
    MAY 2018 How can we save bananas from a deadly disease? Authors: Anthony James, Jean-Yves Paul, Rob Harding, James Dale et al. Associate Editor: Seda Dawson and Gogi Kalka Abstract Have you ever wondered why all bananas in supermarkets look This is because Cavendish bananas do not have an active gene to alike and taste exactly the same? Because almost all exported fight off TR4. However, a wild banana from Indonesia does - the bananas (Musa spp) are of a single cultivar, the Cavendish. Every RGA2 gene. single Cavendish is genetically identical; basically they are all Here, we added the RGA2 gene to Cavendish plants and tested clones! So what? them in fields infested with TR4. Three years later, some of these Cavendish bananas are under a threat from a disease called genetically modified (GM) plants resisted the fungus and stayed Panama disease, also known as Fusarium wilt Tropical Race 4 disease free. That means we may have found a solution to control (TR4) that is caused by a fungus. It is spreading very fast and has TR4 and help millions of people who rely on bananas for food and already destroyed many plantations in Asia and Australia and has income. recently spread to the Middle East and Africa. Introduction Bananas are an important crop worldwide – a major export business and a staple food in many developing countries (Fig. 1). But they are dangerously close to disappearing- at least from grocery stores. 1a Nearly all of the bananas for the export trade are from one cultivar – called Cavendish. Since commercial bananas are seedless, farmers grow new plants from existing plants.
