Efficient Screening Techniques to Identify Mutants with TR4 Resistance in Banana

Protocols

Edited by Joanna Jankowicz-Cieslak, Ivan L. Ingelbrecht ...

Bananas are a staple food for over 500 million people and are also an important cash crop. Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense, is one of the most destructive diseases of banana globally. Since the 1990s, an aggressive variant of this fungus, called Tropical Race 4 (TR4), severely affected banana plantations in Southeast Asia from where it spread to other ... Read more

Oil Palm Breeding

Genetics and Genomics

Edited by Aik Chin Soh, Sean Mayes, Jeremy A. Roberts ...

The oil palm is a remarkable crop, producing around 40% of the world’s vegetable oil from around 6% of the land devoted to oil crops. Conventional breeding has clearly been the major focus of genetic improvement in this crop. A mix of improved agronomy and management, coupled with breeding selection have quadrupled the oil yield of the crop since breeding began in earnest in the 1920s. However, as ... Read more
