Isolation and characterization of the mating type locus of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana.
SUMMARY Idiomorphs mat1-1 and mat1-2 from Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana, were isolated. Degenerate oligos were used to amplify the HMG box of the mat1-2 idiomorph from M. fijiensis, showing homology with the HMG box of Mycosphaerella graminicola. Using a DNA walking strategy, anchored on the DNA lyase gene towards the HMG box, a 9-kb-long regi...
متن کاملVariable number of tandem repeat markers in the genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana (Musa spp).
We searched the genome of Mycosphaerella fijiensis for molecular markers that would allow population genetics analysis of this plant pathogen. M. fijiensis, the causal agent of banana leaf streak disease, also known as black Sigatoka, is the most devastating pathogen attacking bananas (Musa spp). Recently, the entire genome sequence of M. fijiensis became available. We screened this database fo...
متن کاملAn Integrated Approach to Control the Black Leaf Streak Disease (BLSD) of Bananas, while Reducing Fungicide Use and Environmental Impact
Bananas are one of the main agricultural productions in the world, and the main fruit crop, with an annual production of about 117 Mt (Lescot, 2011). International trade of bananas represents 14Mt·year–1 with a value of more than 4 billion US$ (Loeillet, 2005). The production of bananas for this international trade is grown in a small number of tropical countries mainly located in Latin America...
متن کاملEquilibrium and Thermodynamics Studies for Decolorization of Reactive Black 5 by Adsorption onto Acid Modified Banana Leaf Ash
Abstract Background: At present study, acid modified banana leaf ash was used as an adsorbent for the successful removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye from aqueous environments. Materials and methods: The effect of various operating parameters such as pH of solution, dye concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage, and the temperature was investigated. Results: Maximum adsorption capacity of ...
متن کاملThe acyclic nucleoside phosphonate analogues, adefovir, tenofovir and PMEDAP, efficiently eliminate banana streak virus from banana (Musa spp.).
We report that the anti-retroviral and anti-hepadnavirus molecules, adefovir, tenofovir and 9-(2-phosphonomethoxyethyl)-2,6-diaminopurine (PMEDAP), efficiently eradicate the episomal form of Banana streak virus (BSV) from banana plants. Up to 90% of plants regenerated from BSV-infected highly proliferating meristems were virus free following a 6-month treatment period with 10 microg/ml (a non-p...
