Deciphering the microbiome dynamics in an effective banana Fusarium wilt biocontrol interaction system.

Unlabelled: This study explored the effects of bacterial and fungal biocontrol agents (consortia) on the microbiome of Fusarium wilt (Foc TR4)-infected Cavandish banana soils in terms of alteration of prevalence and abundance. The results showed a significant shift in microbial diversity, dominance, abundance, evenness, richness and composition core and indicator microbiome in response to soil applied consortia and untreated controls. A total of 2857 bacterial OTUs from 331 families across 40 phyla dominated with Bacillaceae (40.

Genetic diversity and population structure in banana (Musa spp.) breeding germplasm.

Bananas (Musa spp.) are one of the most highly consumed fruits globally, grown in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. We evaluated 856 Musa accessions from the breeding programs of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture of Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda; the National Agricultural Research Organization of Uganda; the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa); and the National Research Centre for Banana of India.

Dataset from transcriptome profiling of resistant and susceptible cultivars in response to f.sp. race1 and TR4 challenges using Illumina NovaSeq.

In this investigation, the study focused on the RNAseq data generated in response to f.sp. (Foc) race1 (Cavendish infecting strain VCG 0124), targeting both resistant (cv.
