Drought has emerged as one of the major constraints in banana production. Its effects are pronounced substantially tropics and sub-tropics world due to climate change. Bananas quite sensitive drought; however, genotypes with 'B' genome more tolerant abiotic stresses than those solely based on 'A' genome. In particular, bananas 'ABB' genomes drought other genotypes. A good phenotyping plan is a prerequisite for any improvement program targeted traits. present article, known traits crop plants...
In banana, drought responsive gene expression profiles of drought-tolerant and sensitive genotypes remain largely unexplored. this research, the transcriptome banana cultivar (Saba, ABB genome) (Grand Naine, AAA was monitored using mRNA-Seq under control stress condition. A total 162.36 million reads from tolerant 126.58 libraries were produced mapped onto Musa acuminata genome sequence assembled into 23,096 23,079 unigenes. Differential between two conditions (control drought) showed that...
Abstract Bananas are vital for food security in many countries, and half of banana production relies solely on ‘Cavendish’ (AAA), which is presently threatened by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense ( Foc ) tropical race 4. This particular virulent strain was also found to attack other varieties commercial importance. As there no single effective management practice available so far, this study undertaken determine resistant sources from genotype collection at ICAR-National...

The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antitumor activities of aqueous methanol extract Nendran banana peel as a valuable source for bioactive compounds against cancer. Free radical scavenging activity extracts evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl ferric reducing power assay. on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide ethidium bromide/acridine orange staining Extract more efficient in ion with...
Abstract Banana with good amount of resistant starch (RS) offers greater benefit to human health. Studying the dehydration mechanism raw banana slice is very important for subsequent processes and quality product. Thus study was aimed investigate influence varying temperatures viz., 45, 55, 65°C in a convective dryer on thin layer drying kinetics infer their rheological properties coupled thermal sensory quality. Time reducing moisture content from initial 71.2 ± 0.2% final 4.66–6.13% found...
Abstract Musa sp. cultivar Rasthali (Silk AAB) is a choice variety of the Asian sub-continent. Its production and sustenance are threatened by Fusarium wilt, which affects livelihoods small marginal farmers. The use quality planting material one strategies to manage disease. Availability for varieties other than Grand Naine limited. Large-scale micropropagation using existing technologies laborious expensive. Temporary immersion bioreactor system emerging as potential advancement in...
Fusarium wilt caused by oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is the most lethal soil-borne fungal pathogen infecting bananas. Foc race 1 (R1) and 4 (R4) are two predominant races affecting economically important Cavendish group of bananas in India. A total seven vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) from three pathogenic were isolated during our field survey found to be highly virulent towards cv. Grande Naine. According comparative genome analyses, these Indian VCGs diverse genomic organization...
Abstract Banana is affected by a wide number of diseases, which, Fusarium wilt caused oxysporum f. sp. cubense ( Foc ) race 1 has played major role in devastating Gros Michel banana plantations. Since 1960s, the pathogen 4 threatened survival and existence Cavendish group bananas, which necessitated detailed study on wilt, causal organism , its biology, dispersal, pathogenicity, diversity detection at molecular level (especially soils) management. The recently developed technique...
Cost-effective tissue culture protocols have been established for the commercial multiplication of three banana varieties, 'Rasthali' (AAB – Silk), 'Grand Naine' (AAA Cavendish), and 'Udhayam' (ABB Pisang Awak). Reverse osmosis water 3% (w/v) table sugar were used as low-cost carbon source, respectively. Six different gelling agent treatments tested: sago alone (T1), Isabgol (T2), + agar (T3), (T4), (T5), a control (T6). Full-strength Murashige Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 3 mg l–1...
Somatic embryos are comparable to their zygotic counterparts for morphological traits but derived from somatic cells through various metabolic regulations, collectively referred as embryogenesis (SE). It has been well exploited germplasm conservation, genetic engineering, mutation breeding, artificial seed technology and a tool mass multiplication. Though embryo development is an important area of interest in growth, developmental studies, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear....
