Transgenic expression of Arabidopsis ELONGATION FACTOR-TU RECEPTOR ( <i>AtEFR</i> ) gene in banana enhances resistance to Banana Xanthomonas Wilt disease
2023-06-07
Abstract excerpt
Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv . musacearum (Xcm) is a severe bacterial disease devastating banana production in East and Central Africa, where banana is cultivated as a staple crop. Classical breeding of banana is challenging because the crop is clonally propagated and has limited genetic diversity. Thus, genetic engineering serves as a viable alternative for banana improvemen...
