Gene expression in Musa acuminata during interactions with Meloidogyne incognita
Root-knot nematodes (RKN) (Meloidogyne spp) cause considerable losses in banana (Musa sp.). Castañeda et al. investigate the root transcriptome in Musa acuminata during compatible interactions with M. incognita, showing...
Endogenous Banana Streak Viruses illuminate Musa balbisiana diversity
Banana streak viruses (BSV) present in the B genome of banana or plantain cultivars give rise to spontaneous infections following abiotic stresses. Because cooking banana is an economically important staple fruit for...
