| identification of genetic markers linked to banana streak disease expression in inter-specific musa hybrids. | recently-introduced inter-specific musa hybrids, bred for improved yield and resistance to diseases, have been found to be widely infected with banana streak virus (bsv), the causal agent of banana streak disease (bsd). one hypothesis suggests: (1) that bsd occurrence in these inter-specific hybrids results from activation of bsv-ol endogenous pararetrovirus sequences (eprv) integrated into the musa genome rather than from external sources of infection, and (2) that the process of genetic hybrid ... | 2003 | 12595986 |
| pcr-rflp of the ribosomal dna internal transcribed spacers (its) provides markers for the a and b genomes in musa l. | musa acuminata colla (aa genomes) and musa balbisiana colla (bb genomes) are the diploid ancestors of modern bananas that are mostly diploid or triploid cultivars with various combinations of the a and b genomes, including aa, aaa, bb, aab and abb. the objective of this study was to identify molecular markers that will facilitate discrimination of the a and b genomes, based on restriction-site variations in the internal transcribed spacers (its) of the nuclear ribosomal rna genes. the its region ... | 2003 | 12955208 |
| production of haploids from anther culture of banana [musa balbisiana (bb)]. | we report here, for the first time, the production of haploid plants of banana musa balbisiana (bb). callus was induced from anthers in which the majority of the microspores were at the uninucleate stage. the frequency of callus induction was 77%. callus proliferation usually preceded embryo formation. about 8% of the anthers developed androgenic embryos. of the 147 plantlets obtained, 41 were haploids (n=x=11). the frequency of haploid production depended on genotypes used: 18 haploid plants we ... | 2003 | 12789424 |
| creation of a bac resource to study the structure and evolution of the banana (musa balbisiana) genome. | the first bacterial artificial chromosome (bac) library of the banana species musa balbisiana 'pisang klutuk wulung' (pkw bac library) was constructed and characterized. one improved and one novel protocol for nuclei isolation were employed to overcome problems caused by high levels of polyphenols and polysaccharides present in leaf tissues. the use of flow cytometry to purify cell nuclei eliminated contamination with secondary metabolites and plastid dna. furthermore, the usefulness of the indu ... | 2004 | 15644977 |
| banana contains a diverse array of endogenous badnaviruses. | banana streak disease is caused by several distinct badnavirus species, one of which is banana streak obino l'ewai virus. banana streak obino l'ewai virus has severely hindered international banana (musa spp.) breeding programmes, as new hybrids are frequently infected with this virus, curtailing any further exploitation. this infection is thought to arise from viral dna integrated in the nuclear genome of musa balbisiana (b genome), one of the wild species contributing to many of the banana cul ... | 2005 | 15659772 |
| population structure of wild bananas, musa balbisiana, in china determined by ssr fingerprinting and cpdna pcr-rflp. | both demographic history and dispersal mechanisms influence the apportionment of genetic diversity among plant populations across geographical regions. in this study, phylogeography and population structure of wild banana, musa balbisiana, one of the progenitors of cultivated bananas and plantains in china were investigated by an analysis of genetic diversity of simple sequence repeat (ssr) fingerprint markers and cpdna pcr-rflp. a chloroplast dna (cpdna) genealogy of 21 haplotypes identified tw ... | 2005 | 15773926 |
| improved detection of episomal banana streak viruses by multiplex immunocapture pcr. | banana streak viruses (bsv) are currently the main viral constraint to musa germplasm movement, genetic improvement and mass propagation. therefore, it is necessary to develop and implement bsv detection strategies that are both reliable and sensitive, such as pcr-based techniques. unfortunately, bsv endogenous pararetrovirus sequences (bsv eprvs) are present in the genome of musa balbisiana. they interfere with pcr-based detection of episomal bsv in infected banana and plantain, such as immunoc ... | 2006 | 16857272 |
| antioxidant capacity of crude extracts from clones of banana and plane species. | banana and plane are the most important fruits in world trade, behind citric plants. in this work we studied the antioxidant capacity of banana and plane varieties of fruits obtained from interspecies crossed varieties of musa acuminata and musa balbisiana, named harton plane, cavendish banana, and manzano banana. with this purpose we evaluated banana and plane crude extracts using the ferrous ion oxidation with xylenol orange method, the thiobarbituric acid method, determination of antioxidant ... | 2006 | 17201639 |
| molecular characterization of banana streak acuminata vietnam virus isolated from musa acuminata siamea (banana cultivar). | an isolate of banana streak virus (bsv) that does not also occur as an integrant in the musa balbisiana genome was sought in order to investigate the biological role of bsv in the evolution of either the musa genome or of the virus itself. we isolated bsv virions from a musa acuminata siamea accession from vietnam and sequenced the entire viral genome. the molecular organization is similar to that described for other bsv but slightly larger (7801 bp vs. 1611-7568 bp), and orf i has a non-convent ... | 2007 | 17431738 |
| a single banana streak virus integration event in the banana genome as the origin of infectious endogenous pararetrovirus. | sequencing of plant nuclear genomes reveals the widespread presence of integrated viral sequences known as endogenous pararetroviruses (eprvs). banana is one of the three plant species known to harbor infectious eprvs. musa balbisiana carries integrated copies of banana streak virus (bsv), which are infectious by releasing virions in interspecific hybrids. here, we analyze the organization of the eprv of bsv goldfinger (bsgfv) present in the wild diploid m. balbisiana cv. pisang klutuk wulung (p ... | 2008 | 18417582 |
| identification of cytoplasmic ancestor gene-pools of musa acuminata colla and musa balbisiana colla and their hybrids by chloroplast and mitochondrial haplotyping. | cytoplasmically inherited characters such as resistance to viral and fungal diseases, determination of starch types, crop yield, resistance to low or high temperature often contribute to the advantageous phenotypic traits of plants. in the present study, our goal was to elucidate the genealogy of cytoplasmic genomes chloroplast and mitochondria in banana. banana breeding is rather complicated because of the low fertility and mostly unknown origin of the edible cultivars, therefore, knowledge on ... | 2008 | 18762903 |
| development and assessment of diversity arrays technology for high-throughput dna analyses in musa. | diversity arrays technology (dart) is a dna hybridisation-based molecular marker technique that can detect simultaneously variation at numerous genomic loci without sequence information. this efficiency makes it a potential tool for a quick and powerful assessment of the structure of germplasm collections. this article demonstrates the usefulness of dart markers for genetic diversity analyses of musa spp. genotypes. we developed four complexity reduction methods to generate dart genomic represen ... | 2009 | 19693484 |

| characterization of novel microsatellite markers in musa acuminata subsp. burmannicoides, var. calcutta 4. | banana is a nutritionally important crop across tropical and sub-tropical countries in sub-saharan africa, central and south america and asia. although cultivars have evolved from diploid, triploid and tetraploid wild asian species of musa acuminata (a genome) and musa balbisiana (b genome), many of today's commercial cultivars are sterile triploids or diploids, with fruit developing via parthenocarpy. as a result of restricted genetic variation, improvement has been limited, resulting in a crop ... | 2010 | 20507605 |
| a saturated ssr/dart linkage map of musa acuminata addressing genome rearrangements among bananas. | the genus musa is a large species complex which includes cultivars at diploid and triploid levels. these sterile and vegetatively propagated cultivars are based on the a genome from musa acuminata, exclusively for sweet bananas such as cavendish, or associated with the b genome (musa balbisiana) in cooking bananas such as plantain varieties. in m. acuminata cultivars, structural heterozygosity is thought to be one of the main causes of sterility, which is essential for obtaining seedless fruits ... | 2010 | 20388207 |
| mechanisms of haplotype divergence at the rga08 nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat gene locus in wild banana (musa balbisiana). | comparative sequence analysis of complex loci such as resistance gene analog clusters allows estimating the degree of sequence conservation and mechanisms of divergence at the intraspecies level. in banana (musa sp.), two diploid wild species musa acuminata (a genome) and musa balbisiana (b genome) contribute to the polyploid genome of many cultivars. the m. balbisiana species is associated with vigour and tolerance to pests and disease and little is known on the genome structure and haplotype d ... | 2010 | 20637079 |
| micropropagation by tissue culture triggers differential expression of infectious endogenous banana streak virus sequences (ebsv) present in the b genome of natural and synthetic interspecific banana plantains. | the genome of musa balbisiana spp. contains several infectious endogenous sequences of banana streak virus (ebsv). we have shown previously that in vitro micropropagation triggers the activation of infectious ebsolv (endogenous sequences of banana streak obino l'ewai virus) in the synthetic tetraploid interspecific hybrid fhia21 (aaab). in this work, we show that another synthetic tetraploid (aaab) hybrid and two natural triploid (aab) plantains are equally prone to the activation of infectious ... | 2010 | 20078782 |
| homoeologous chromosome pairing between the a and b genomes of musa spp. revealed by genomic in situ hybridization. | most cooking banana and several desert bananas are interspecific triploid hybrids between musa acuminata (a genome) and musa balbisiana (b genome). in addition, m. balbisiana has agronomical characteristics such as resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses that could be useful to improve monospecific acuminata cultivars. to develop efficient breeding strategies for improving musa cultivars, it is therefore important to understand the possibility of chromosome exchange between these two species. | 2011 | 21835815 |
| cytogenetic evidence of mixed disomic and polysomic inheritance in an allotetraploid (aabb) musa genotype. | edible bananas originated mainly from two wild species, musa acuminata colla (aa) and musa balbisiana colla (bb), and triploid cultivars with an aaa, aab or abb genome are the most widely used. in the present study, chromosome pairing affinities are investigated in a sterile ab indian variety and in its fertile colchicine-induced allotetraploid (aabb) derivative to determine the inheritance pattern of the tetraploid genotype. the potential implications of interspecific recombination and chromoso ... | 2012 | 23087127 |
