| 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 |
| complete genome sequence of a novel badnavirus, banana streak im virus. | in 1999, banana streak disease outbreaks occurred at two locations in australia in new banana hybrids that were being screened for fusarium wilt resistance. two different badnaviruses, banana streak gf virus and a newly discovered virus called banana streak im virus (bsimv), were detected in these plants. the complete nucleotide sequence of the bsimv genome was determined and comprised 7768 nt. three open reading frames were detected, the first beginning with a non-conventional start codon (cug) ... | 2011 | 21347843 |
