Abstract Background Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungal pathogen oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), is considered most lethal disease of Cavendish bananas in world. The can be managed field planting resistant plants generated somaclonal variation. However, little information available on genetic basis plant resistance to Foc TR4. To a better understand defense response banana wilt pathogen, transcriptome profiles roots and susceptible challenged with TR4 were compared....
Banana is an important staple crop and widely grown in more than 130 countries around the world. Plant height one of major characteristics crops (Wang et al., 2018); however, commercial banana varieties 2 m, higher are frequently challenged by weak lodging severe damages caused typhoons storms. Dwarf suitable for mechanized plant maintenance fruit harvesting (Dash Rai, 2016); thus, development semi-dwarf dwarf to current farming systems. Gibberellin (GA) most determinants (Sasaki 2002),...
Banana and its close relative, plantain are globally important crops there is considerable interest in optimizing their cultivation. Plantain has superior cold tolerance compared with banana a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms responses to stress great potential value for developing tolerant cultivars. In this study, we used iTRAQ-based comparative proteomic analysis investigate temporal stress. seedlings were exposed 0, 6, 24 h at 8 °C subsequently allowed recover 28 °C. A...
Banana is a fruit with high nutrient content and economic importance. It regarded as main staple food in developing countries. As typical climacteric fruit, banana will ripen decay one week after exogenous ethylene induction. The short shelf life of largely limits its storage, transportation marketing causes great postharvest loss (Krishnakumar Thirupathi, 2014). closely related to production, which the first factor considered for preservation technology. A reduction endogenous production or...
Summary Fusaric acid ( FSA ) is a phytotoxin produced by several Fusarium species and has been associated with plant disease development, although its role still not well understood. Mutation of key genes in the biosynthetic gene FUB cluster oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 Foc TR 4) reduced production, resulted decreased symptoms fungal biomass host banana plants. When pretreated , both leaves pseudostems exhibited increased sensitivity to invasion. Banana embryogenic cell...
Anthocyanins spatiotemporally accumulate in certain tissues of particular species the banana plant, and MYB transcription factors (TFs) serve as their primary regulators. However, precise regulatory mechanism remains to be determined. Here, we report identification characterization MaMYB4 , an R2R3-MYB repressor TF, characterized by presence EAR (ethylene-responsive element binding factor–associated amphiphilic repression) TLLLFR motifs. expression was induced accumulation anthocyanins....
Background Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungal pathogen oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is one of most destructive diseases banana. Toxins produced Foc have been proposed to play an important role during pathogenic process. The objectives this study were investigate contamination banana with toxins Foc, and elucidate their in pathogenesis. Methodology/Principal Findings Twenty isolates representing races 1 4 isolated from diseased bananas five Chinese provinces. Two consistently associated...
Current banana cultivation is facing a serious threat known as Panama disease or Fusarium wilt, which caused by the oxysporum (Dale et al., 2017). To date, development of wilt-resistant still faces challenges various sexual reproduction barriers, such high sterility, complex genetic background, polypoid, and parthenogenesis (Ghag 2014), making it extremely difficult to develop new disease-resistant bananas via cross-breeding (Czislowski 2018). In recent years, host-induced gene silencing...
Banana (Musa acuminata, AAA group) is a representative climacteric fruit with essential nutrients and pleasant flavors. Control of its ripening determines both the quality shelf life. NAC (NAM, ATAF, CUC2) proteins, as one largest superfamilies transcription factors, play crucial roles in various functions, especially developmental processes. Thus, it important to conduct comprehensive identification characterization factor family at genomic level M. acuminata. In this article, total 181...
Volatile compounds are important factors that affect the flavor quality of banana. The odors banana during harvest change significantly depending upon season; however, nature changes occurring at different times is still unclear. To clarify how harvesting time affects volatile compound profiles and comprehensive characterization, BaXi GuangFen No. 1 cultivars fruit harvests in March September were evaluated using electronic nose technology, also headspace solid phase micro-extraction...
The CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing system has been used extensively to engineer targeted mutations in a wide variety of species. Its application banana, however, hindered because the species’ triploid nature and low efficiency. This delayed development DNA-free approach. In this study, we reported that endogenous U6 promoter banana codon-optimized Cas9 apparently increased mutation frequency generated method validate efficiency based on transient expression protoplasts. activity MaU6c...
Abstract Low temperature is a major environmental factor that limits the growth, yield, and geographical distribution of Cavendish Dajiao bananas ( Musa spp.). exhibit significantly higher cold tolerance than cultivar. However, underlying mechanisms involved in regulation plants have not been determined. In this study, we investigated differences at cellular level between cold-sensitive cold-tolerant banana types through comparative metabolomics transcriptomics analyses calli exposed to...
Boron (B) deficiency has seriously negative effect on citrus production. Carrizo citrange (CC) been reported as a B-deficiency tolerant rootstock. However, the molecular mechanism of its tolerance remained not well-explored. To understand basis rootstock to B-deficiency, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) and microarray approaches were combined identify potential important or novel genes responsive B-deficiency. Firstly four SSH libraries constructed for root tissue two rootstocks...
Fusarium wilt is one of the most serious threats to banana production worldwide. The disease caused by soil-borne fungal pathogen oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), especially tropical race 4 (Foc TR4). It has been reported that crop rotation and intercropping Chinese leek (Allium tuberosum) with can effectively reduce incidence in field. In this study, we investigated toxic mechanism bioactive compounds root exudates (CLREs) acting against Foc TR4. vitro experiments showed CLREs inhibit...
Banana is an important tropical fruit with high economic value. One of the main species (cultivar Cavendish) susceptible to low temperature, while another close relative specie (Dajiao), has considerably higher cold tolerance. We have reported that some membrane proteins appear involved in tolerance Dajiao via antioxidation mechanism. To investigate early stress response Dajiao, here we applied comparative proteomics analysis for both cold-sensitive Cavendish and cold-tolerant subjected at...
Banana cultivars with the AAB genome group comprise diverse subgroups, such as Plantain, Silk, Iholena, and Pisang Raja, among others, which play an important role in food security many developing countries. Some of these are susceptible to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), most destructive pathogen threatening banana production worldwide, some them still largely unknown. We evaluated resistance 37 genotypes, including Maia Maoli/Popoulu, Pome, Mysore, Foc TR4...
