Studies

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.
