In the early 20th century, banana plantations were exporting the fruit to places all over the world. In the late 1800s, Panama disease showed up, spreading far and wide. The fungus causes the ...

further research into the genetic mechanisms behind banana disease resistance is essential. Researchers from the Jiangsu Key ...

or Panama disease, a fungus that's now ravaging banana farms across the globe. Fernando: So now you can compare, this is Tropical Race 4 in a Cavendish banana. Then this plant looks very healthy.

Fungal diseases severely devastated the banana industry once in history and it could soon happen again if we do not resolve the cause of these problems. Plant scientists, including us, are working ...
