Most banana cultivars are triploid seedless parthenocarpic clones derived from hybridization between Musa acuminata subspecies and sometimes M. balbisiana. M. acuminata subspecies were suggested to differ by a few large chromosomal rearrangements based on chromosome pairing configurations in intersubspecies hybrids. We searched for large chromosomal rearrangements in a seedy M. acuminata ssp. m...

Burns range in severity depending on the amount of area they cover on the body and how deeply they penetrate the skin and tissue beneath. Wound healing is an intricate and orchestrated process involving the interactions of various cell components to establish a provisional tissue and then remodel this while forming the mature replacement. Many types of polymers had been used for wound healing t...

Banana (Musa sp.) ranks fourth in term of worldwide fruit production, and has economical and nutritional key values. The Cavendish cultivars correspond to more than 90% of the production of dessert banana while cooking cultivars are widely consumed locally around the banana belt production area. Many plants, if not all, produce Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) as a means of communication with ...

The context for the production of bananas for export is characterised by a wide range of transport-times between producer and importer countries, and by the use of a single cultivar of banana (Musa spp., AAA group, cv. Cavendish Grande Naine). We investigated the green-life of pink banana (Musa spp., AAA group, Red sub-group, cv. Figue Rose Naine) for the different physiological ages of banana ...

Differences in water relations and total carbohydrate content between precommercially thinned unthinned Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana stands | Ayşe Deligöz, Esra Bayar, Musa Genç, Yasin Karatepe Agricultural Journals

The folkloric claim of Musa paradisiaca sap in the management of diarrhoea is yet to be substantiated or refuted with scientific data. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to screen the sap of M. paradisiaca for both its secondary metabolites and antidiarrhoeal activity at 0.25, 0.50, and 1.00 mL in rats. Secondary metabolites were screened using standard methods while the antidiarrhoeal...

Home gardens are defined as less complex agroforests which look like and function as natural forest ecosystems but are integrated into agricultural management systems located around houses. Investigations were carried out in 187 households. The aim of the study was to identify the different types of banana home gardens existing in the periurban zone of Ngaoundere town. The results showed that t...
