The research activities focused on two major areas. One focused on identifying and adapting known Integrated Pest and Disease Management practices (IPM) through integration with cropping systems approaches. The second focus area was to carry out strategic studies to further build knowledge and capacity that would improve abilities to formulate and implement sound IPM tactics. These included basic and applied studies to better understand the underlying basis of host-pathogen interactions, as in the case of soil-supression in Foc epidemics; and studies on host-pathogen interactions as influenced by virulence of various strains of the pathogen against different Musa cultivars. These research activities aimed to fill in knowledge gaps for developing more efficient disease management strategies. Piloting of ICM/IPM practices In Indonesia, best disease and crop management practices developed both in previous ACIAR-funded projects1 were reviewed, identified and subsequently validated through pilot studies. This also including integrating results of other national and regional studies in managing banana wilt diseases and improving productivity Through expert brainstorming/workshop and farmer-participatory appraisal workshops, 15 disease management options were identified and adopted in various combinations by farmer- collaborators in pilot sites in Lampung, Sumatra, and Cianjur, West Java in Indonesia. Fusarium wilt Tropical Race 4 (TR4) and banana blood disease (BBD), are the major constraints to banana production in these two areas. Being both soil-borne pathogens, crop and disease management approaches are similarly relevant for both diseases, so the work on Foc will be also applied to controlling BBD. Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) has also been observed to be an important emerging disease problem. The packages of technologies (POTs) recommended to farmers included the use of healthy planting materials, appropriate land preparation, plant density and planting pattern management, soil fertility and nutrient management, identification and eradication of infected plants, water and drainage management, weed management, and the use of diversified cropping system to reduce disease epidemics. Farmers adopted different combinations of the above technologies according to their needs and capacities. Results of a rapid participatory appraisal study showed that farmer- collaborators in Lampung had lower knowledge of IPM and ICM technologies and initially adopted more diverse practices compared to farmers from Cianjur, who were more informed and adopting better farming

The Cavendish bananas and plantains had identical similarities in the chloroplast DNA of a cavendish banana, school. The cavendish bananas will act as the control matches, meaning they are very closely related. We expected lady finger banana and plantain. Our hypothesis is that the group in our experiment. The lady finger bananas and the these two organisms to be closely related because the top different types of bananas will have many genetic similarities plantains will be the experimental groups. We brought matches had some sort of connection to bananas. Although, because they fall under the same genus, grow in the same them to Yeshiva University High School for Girls and kept we were also expecting lady finger bananas to be as closely way, and have similar peel structures.We predicted there will them there until we started our project. We started related as the others the closest matches were tomatoes and be differences among these species because they differ in isolating the DNA from the plant by collecting seeds from eggplants, which is very unexpected.

  • Silicon in Banana Plants: Uptake, Distribution and Interaction with the Disease
    Silicon in banana plants: uptake, distribution and interaction with the disease fusarium wilt Kevan Walter Jones Bachelor of Science: Plant Science A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of Agriculture & Food Sciences Abstract Banana cultivation worldwide is under threat from a wide variety of pathogens and negative environmental factors. Most cultivated banana plants are vegetatively propagated, resulting in a dearth of breeding and a genetic bottleneck. This has led to enhanced susceptibility to a number of lethal plant diseases. Novel solutions are being pursued to enhance the innate defences of the banana plant in an effort to combat these diseases. Of all current banana diseases, Fusarium wilt poses the greatest overall threat. Fusarium wilt, sometimes known as Panama disease, is caused by the soilborne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc). A complex grouping of polyphyletic fungal strains, collectively referred to as races, is responsible for causing disease in banana. Race 1 of Foc caused the collapse of the global ‘Gros Michel’ trade industry in the mid-20th century. The industry recovered by substituting ‘Cavendish’ cultivars for ‘Gros Michel’, but a new race (race 4) is now threatening ‘Cavendish’ production. Breeding and transgenics programmes for developing Foc resistant banana cultivars are in progress, but advancement is slow and durable resistance cannot be guaranteed. In the interim, innovative control strategies for Foc are being sought. These strategies involve the development of new cultural controls or soil amendments and are intended to inhibit fungal inoculum in the soil or to upregulate innate plant defences.

Abstract Understanding how germplasm is utilized is of great importance to the development of accurate tools and methods by genebanks and enhances their response to the needs of farmers and consumers. Bioversity’s International Musa Germplasm Transit Centre (ITC), based at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, hosts the world’s largest collection of banana germplasm, with more than 1,500 accessions. Currently, the ITC uses both in vitro and cryopreservation methods and are investing in conserving seeds of wild Musa species. Besides ensuring long-term conservation, for many users in numerous countries, the ITC is the only source of clean and healthy Musa germplasm. The ITC therefore plays a very important role in the mobilization, improvement and adaptation of Musa germplasm. Access to safe and healthy germplasm has enabled and facilitated a large body of research and development projects to support the Musa (banana) diversity, which is fundamental for ensuring production today and in the future. This study explores the value added to this process by various stakeholders. We analyzed the ITC Musa germplasm distribution data among recipients in Africa, Asia and the Pacific regions, followed by a requestor survey.

  • Assessment of Banana Streak MY Virus-Based Infectious Clone Vectors in Musa Ssp. by Mary Nyambeki Onsarigo B. Ed. (Science)
    Assessment of banana streak MY virus-based infectious clone vectors in Musa ssp. by Mary Nyambeki Onsarigo B. Ed. (Science) 1996 M. Sc. (Agricultural Biotechnology) 2008 M. Sc. (Bioinformatics) 2010 Centre for Tropical Crops and Biocommodities Science and Engineering Faculty A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queensland University of Technology 2017 Keywords Genotype, GFP, endogenous virus sequences, resistance © 2017 Mary Onsarigo Page i Abstract Banana streak disease, caused by a complex of different banana streak viruses (BSVs), occurs in all banana-producing countries. BSVs are genetically very diverse and can exist both as episomal forms or integrated into the host genome and both can be infectious to banana. Several field studies have assessed the infectivity of one or more BSV species on different banana genotypes with significant differences reported in virus incidence and symptom expression between and within genotypes. These studies used a severity index, based on symptom expression, to determine the resistance/susceptibility levels of the genotypes. Because of the great genetic variability amongst BSV species, symptoms of banana streak disease may vary widely and may be influenced by the cultivar and/or environmental conditions. Also this system of screening does not reflect the level of viral DNA accumulation (i.e. the viral load) within infected plants. Furthermore, there are no reports on the level of BSV DNA accumulation in different banana cultivars or Musa sp. Researchers at QUT had previously developed an infectious clone of one BSV species, Banana streak MY virus (BSMYV). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the infectivity of the BSMYV infectious clone in a broad range of Musa genotypes and cultivars.
