Genetic Engineering of Banana

Toward Increasing Fusarium Wilt Resistance

Beschreibung

Genetic engineering is known as the most powerful tool for crop improvement. This book, reviews the most popular gene transformation methods (Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and Particle bombardment) on banana genetic engineering and highlights the role of pathogen related (PR) proteins in banana improvement such as PR2, PR3 and PR5. A new explant, male inflorescence, is reported as an alternative meristemic explant for transferring rice thaumatin like protein gene (PR5) in banana. Moreover, a new banana cultivar which is resistance to Fusarium Wilt is introduced.
