Banana
A banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large treelike herbaceous flowering plants in the genus '' Musa''. In some countries, cooking bananas are called plantains, distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a peel, which may have a variety of colors when ripe. It grows upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless ( parthenocarp) cultivated bananas come from two wild species – '' Musa acuminata'' and ''Musa balbisiana'', or hybrids of them. ''Musa'' species are native to tropical Indomalaya and Australia; they were probably domesticated in New Guinea. They are grown in 135 countries, primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent to make banana paper and textiles, while some are grown as ornamental plants. The world's largest producers of bananas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Armillaria Tabescens
''Armillaria tabescens'' (also known as ringless honey mushroom) is a species of fungus in the family Physalacriaceae. It is a plant pathogen. The mycelium of the fungus is bioluminescent. Hosts and symptoms ''Armillaria'' species infect a wide variety of woody plants. In a survey of 250 permanent plots of trees in Albania, ''Armillaria tabescens'' affected multiple species of trees including fir species, where it invaded when the plant was stressed. A study in Greece reported ''Armillaria tabescens'' to be more prevalent in areas where the trees were stressed due to limited moisture. In oak trees, it was slightly more damaging and could kill young trees. ''Armillaria tabescens'' was also recorded in poplar and eucalyptus plantations, and almond trees were found to be very susceptible to infection. The results of the study by Lushaj et al. showed that ''Armillaria tabescens'' was most frequently recorded on fruit and ornamental trees compared to the other species''.'' ''Ar ...

Trachysphaera Fructigena
''Trachysphaera fructigena'' is an oomycete affecting bananas and cacao trees. This oomycete is a weak plant pathogen that causes minor diseases in banana, coffee, and cocoa. Hosts Trachysphaera fructigena primarily affects banana (cigar-end rot), coffee, and cocoa but is also associated with ''Mimusops elengi'', ''M. commersoni'', and avocado (''Persea americana''). It can also infect flowers and wounded fruit of ''Pyrus'', ''Malus'', ''Prunus'', and ''Citrus'' species under artificial conditions. Economic importance ''T''. ''fructigena'' generally causes minor economic damage. On bananas, it is most significant during storage, particularly in West Africa, where it impacts fruit quality, rendering them unsellable. The disease is most severe in old or poorly maintained plantations. On cocoa, T. fructigena contributes to mealy pod rot, accelerating decay in pods damaged by vertebrates, but it is considered a minor component of overall pod diseases. Signs and symptoms On ban ...

Chalara Paradoxa
''Ceratocystis paradoxa'' or Black Rot of Pineapple is a plant pathogen that is a fungus, part of the phylum Ascomycota. It is characterized as the teleomorph or sexual reproduction stage of infection. This stage contains ascocarps, or sacs/fruiting bodies, which contain the sexually produced inoculating ascospores. These are the structures which are used primarily to survive long periods of time or overwinter to prepare for the next growing season of its host. Unfortunately, the sexual stage is not often seen in the natural field but instead the anamorph, or asexual stage is more commonly seen. This asexual stage name is ''Thielaviopsis paradoxa'' and is the common cause of Black rot or stem-end rot of its hosts. Hosts and symptoms One of the most well-known diseases caused by ''Ceratocystis paradoxa'' is Black rot or stem-end rot of pineapple, but it can also infect tropical fruit plants such as banana and coconuts as well as sugarcane. The pathogen infects the fruits through wo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cercospora Hayi
''Cercospora'' is a genus of ascomycete fungi. Most species have no known sexual stage, and when the sexual stage is identified, it is in the genus '' Mycosphaerella''. Most species of this genus cause plant diseases, and form leaf spots. It is a relatively well-studied genus of fungi, but there are countless species not yet described, and there is still much to learn about the best-known members of the genus. It has a cosmopolitan distribution worldwide. Selected species The GBIF accepts 837 species (as of July 2023); See also List of Cercospora species *'' Cercospora acetosella'' - found on sheep sorrel and other docks *'' Cercospora aciculina'' *'' Cercospora agerati'' *'' Cercospora alabemensis'' *'' Cercospora alismatis'' *'' Cercospora althaeina'' *'' Cercospora angreci'' - causes leaf spot of orchids *'' Cercospora angulata'' *'' Cercospora apii'' - causes leaf spot on celery, and found on other plants, including ''Impatiens'' * ''Cercospora apii'' f.sp.

Rosellinia Bunodes
''Rosellinia bunodes'' is a plant pathogen infecting several hosts including avocados, bananas, cacao and tea. ''Rosellinia bunodes'' is the causal agent of black root rot of many herbaceous and woody perennials in both tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.Castro, B.L., Carreno, A.J., Galeano, N.F., Roux., J., Wingfield, M.J., & Gaitan, A.L. (2013). Identification and genetic diversity of ''Rosellinia'' spp. associated with root rot of coffee in Colombia. ''Australian Plant Pathology'', 42, 515-523. . Closely related species – namely ''R. pepo'' and ''R. nectarix'' – cause symptomatically similar diseases, but distinguishing between species can be quite difficult without the help of molecular (DNA) analysis, since survival structures are rarely observed in both the field and laboratory.dos Santos, A.F., Thomazi, H., Duarte, H.S.S., Machado, E.B., Silva, C.N., & Tessmann, D.J.
