Catalase (CAT) and Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) Genes Expression Level in Growth of Banana Plantlets (Musa acuminata) cv. Ambon Lumut Under Chromium Stress Condition

Catalase and Metallothionein genes expression analysis in wheat cultivars under drought stress condition

Drought stress is one of the serious problems that restricted agronomic plant production worldwide. In molecular level, the harmful effect of drought stress is mostly caused by producing of large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Catalase and Metallothionein genes have a crucial role to mope the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) resulting reducing oxidative damage. In this research the gene expre...

Malate synthase gene expression during fruit ripening of Cavendish banana (Musa acuminata cv. Williams).

Malate synthase (MS) is a key enzyme responsible for malic acid synthesis in the glyoxylate cycle, which functions to convert stored lipids to carbohydrates, by catalysing the glyoxylate condensation reaction with acetyl-CoA in the peroxisome. In this study, the cloning of an MS cDNA, designated MaMS-1, from the banana fruit is reported. MaMS-1 was 1801 bp in length encoding a single polypeptid...

Effect of benzylaminopurine (BAP) pulsing on in vitro shoot multiplication of Musa acuminata (banana) cv. Berangan

MS (Murashige and Skoog) media supplemented with benzylaminopurine (BAP) showed that the number of bud formation in shoot cultures of Musa acuminata cv.Berangan during the initiation stage increased proportionately with the concentrations used (11, 22 and 33 μM). However, the highest concentration of BAP (33 μM) simultaneously increased the formation of abnormal shoots. After the first apical b...

Banana Chips (musa Acuminata) as an Alternative

Monoxenic Culture of Banana-Parasitic Nematodes on Musa acuminata cv. Poyo shoots.

Among nematodes parasitizing bananas throughout the world, Radopholus similis and Helicotylenchus multicinctus are the most widespread and damaging species. Besides these two nematodes, Hoplolaimus pararobustus is encountered frequently in Ivory Coast and has been increasing in banana growing areas for the past 25 years (6,10). In vitro culture systems could facilitate screening for resistance ...
