Overexpression of MusaVicilin Gene for Disease Resistance in Banana
2025-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW) disease, caused by Xanthomonas vasicola pv. musacearum, is a major constraint to banana production in East and Central Africa. All cultivated banana varieties are susceptible, with the wild progenitor Musa balbisiana being the only known source of complete resistance. Limitations in classical breeding have prompted the exploration of molecular genetic tools, such as genetic modificati...
