Description
This project evaluated genetically modified Cavendish bananas and plantains for field and glasshouse resistance to banana bunchy top virus in Malawi in Africa, over a three-and-a-half-year period. The study identified several GM lines with significant resistance to the virus and provided a rare insight into virus-vector relations and the climate. The research showed that rigorous field assessment of GM plants for disease resistance is critical and that immunity to this virus will likely only be achieved using a multi-faceted resistance strategy.
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.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
