The banana plant is one of the most widely cultivated crops in the world. However, banana breeding has been a slow process, due to the low seed set and low germination rates. Selection of useful somaclonal variations and genetic transformation in cells or calluses are promising t...

Abstract The different propagation systems for the banana: conventional or by tissue culture are reviewed. Conventional propagation, mainly using suckers, whole rhizomes or bits are still in use for familiar plantings or in farms for local markets in many tropical countries, whi...

ABSTRACT The purpose of this dissertative work is to show the results of the implementation of the resources from the Programa de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Rural do Nordeste (Rural), operated by the Banco do Nordeste do Brasil, flower-culture projects in districts of the Baixo do ...

Filamentous fungi are considered to be the most important group of microorganisms for the production of plant cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDE), in solid state fermentations. In this study, two fungal strains Aspergillus niger MS23 and Aspergillus terreus MS105 were screened for...

The use of banana (Musa spp.) plant production by tissue culture is increasing throughout the world. However the occurrence of somaclonal variation has been one of the most important problems affecting the commercial value of the plants. A reason for the somaclonal variation can ...

Resumo Considerando que não há uma escala ilustrada das principais anomalias observadas para as sementes de bananeira, o objetivo deste guia é mostrar em detalhes, pela primeira vez, as categorias para classificar os tipos mais comuns de anomalias observadas em embriões e sement...

India is amongst the largest banana (Musa acuminata) producing countries and thus banana pseudo stem is commonly available agricultural waste to be used as lignocellulosic substrate. Present study focuses on exploitation of banana pseudo stem as a source for bioethanol production...

Soil salinity is one of the main factors that limits world productivity. Different studies have being realized to select more resistant genotypes. Therefore, this work objectified to study the physiology and biochemistry of two banana plantlets varieties Maçã and Nanica submitted...

Three recognized 12,13-epoxytrichothecene mycotoxins, trichothecolone, diacetoxyscirpenol, and T-2 toxin, and a hyperestrogenic factor, zearalenone, together with the fatty acid esters of trichothecolone, scirpenetriol, T-2 tetraol, and zearalenone, were isolated from the flask c...

The in vitro culture, also known as micropropagation, is a technique used in the attainment of plants with commercial value. This technique is useful in achievement for free pathogenic plants and to maintain the genetic characteristics of the mother plant. However, the micropropa...

ABSTRACT: The banana moth Opogona sacchari (Bojer) (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) is a polyphagous pest that can cause serious damage, especially to banana crops in southern Brazil. It attacks the fruit, lowering its quality and making bananas unsuitable for export. Current control meas...

Banana is one of the most economically important fruits crops and its micropropagation has been stimulated by improving seedlings quality. However, they are sensitive to many pests and pathogens, including nematodes. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbionts associated...

Brazil is a country with agricultural characteristics and thus the development of the agro-industrial sector is of great socio-economic importance and should be explored so as to avoid food wastage and increase the value of agricultural products and producer profit. Based on the ...

The transformations, occurring in the constitution of banana during the ripening, are factors of great importance to the fresh fruit market and for the industry. Relating to the quality of the fruit, the major problem of Brazilian culture of bananas is the management of the produ...

The region at the Apodi plateau in northeastern Ceará, has been increasing in recent years as a major pole production and marketing of tropical fruits of the state and also in northeastern Brasil, especially as regards the banana plant irrigated agribusiness. In this region the P...

The objective of this study was to establish cell suspension culture and plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis of a Brazilian plantain, cultivar Terra Maranhão, AAB. Immature male flowers were used as explant source for generating highly embryogenic cultures 45 days after ...

Micropropagation of bananas results in a great quantity of cloned plantlets, produced in a reduced space and in a short period of time. Nevertheless, the anatomical structure of the leaves of the explants formed under in vitro conditions present a series of deficiencies, which re...

Este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar, de forma simplificada, a partir de resultados de pesquisas realizadas no Laboratório de Biotecnologia da Embrapa Amazônia Ocidental, Manaus, as melhores condições de produção in vitro de mudas da banana cv. Prata Zulu, cultivar que tem sobr...

A significant fraction of the bananas and plantains produced in the humid tropics are wasted due to rapid spoilage. The use of acid-producing, anaerobic fermentation may be a safe and economical way to preserve the fruit in both large- and small-scale applications. The abilities ...

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estabelecer normas do Sistema Integrado de Diagnose e Recomendação (DRIS) na cultura da banana (Musa sp) para o sub grupo Cavendish. Foram utilizadas 107 amostras foliares de plantas em lavouras situadas nos municípios de Andirá e Rancho Alegre...
