Assessment of banana streak MY virus-based infectious clone vectors in Musa ssp.
Description
Banana streak disease, caused by a range of banana streak viruses, occurs in most banana producing countries worldwide. In this PhD thesis, the infectivity of one banana streak virus species was assessed in a broad range of wild and cultivated bananas. The results showed that most bananas were susceptible to infection but that, generally, minimal effects on the growth were observed. However, symptom variability was considerable with different bananas expressing distinct symptoms. Measurements of virus accumulation showed that this was also highly variable between plants. This work has improved the understanding of virus resistance in bananas and will lay the foundation for further research on virus resistance.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
