Characterizing fruit ripening in plantain and Cavendish bananas: A proteomics approach
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
Abstract
The fruit physiology of banana cultivars other than Cavendish is poorly understood. To study the ripening process, samples were taken daily from plantain and Cavendish bananas and the ripening stages were determined. We present data from the green to the fully mature stage. By analyzing the protein abundances during ripening we provide some new insights into the ripening process and…

The cryoprotectant PVS2 plays a crucial role in germinating Passiflora ligularis embryos after cryopreservation by influencing the mobilization of lipids and the antioxidant metabolism
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
Abstract
Cryopreservation is a process whereby biological structures are preserved in liquid nitrogen (�??196�??°C) without losing their viability. Many cryopreservation techniques use the Plant Vitrification Solution 2 (PVS2) for cryoprotection. This study will therefore evaluate the influence of…

Variability of carotenoids in a Musa germplasm collection and implications for provitamin A biofortification
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
Abstract
Bananas are important staples in tropical and sub-tropical regions and their potential as a source of provitamin A has recently attracted attention for biofortification. A collection of 189 banana genotypes (AAB-plantains, M. acuminata cultivars and bred hybrids) was screened to determine variability in fruit pulp provitamin A carotenoid (pVAC) content using high…

Progress in understanding Pseudocercospora banana pathogens and the development of resistantMusagermplasm
International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)
Abstract
Banana and plantain (Musa spp.) are important food crops in tropical and subtropical regions of the world where they generate millions of dollars annually to both subsistence farmers and exporters. Since 1902, Pseudocercospora banana pathogens, Pseudocercospora fijiensis, P. musae and P. eumusae, have emerged as major production constraints to banana and plantain.…

Abstract
Es de suponer que los sistemas cafetaleros de Guatemala son vulnerables a los impactos del cambio climático esto se puede sustentar mediante el número de manzanas afectadas por la roya y la débil nutrición de los plantíos de café para soportar la enfermedad, también mediante la cantidad de productores endeudados al no producir café y no tener otras…
