Targeted knockout of early nodulin-like 3 (MusaENODL3) gene in banana reveals its function in resistance to Xanthomonas wilt disease.

Summary

Researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 to disrupt the MusaENODL3 gene in bananas infected with Xanthomonas campestris bacteria, making the plants resistant to banana Xanthomonas wilt disease. This could help improve disease resistance in banana crops, important for tropical farmers who rely on bananas for food and income.

High-quality reference genome assemblies for two Australimusa bananas provide insights into genetic diversity of the Musaceae family and regulatory mechanisms of superior fiber properties.

Summary

Scientists investigated the T-genome in bananas and found that it is larger due to expansion and slow transposon removal. A specific gene, MusaMYB26, promotes earlier cellulose accumulation in secondary cell wall formation. This research aids in understanding banana domestication and provides resources for genetic improvement.
