Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is the leading technology for plant genetic
engineering and gene functional analysis. Recently, various tissue culture-independent …

Fatty acid desaturase (FAD) plays important roles in plant growth and development and plant
defense processes. In this study, we identified 27 MaFAD genes from the banana genome. …

Banana (Musa spp.), one of the most important fruits worldwide, is generally cold sensitive. In
this study, by using the cold-sensitive banana variety Tianbaojiao (Musa acuminate) as the …

Serendipita indica is a root-colonizing basidiomycete that has received considerable attention

Cold stress seriously affects banana growth, yield and fruit quality. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs)
have been demonstrated as key regulators of biotic and abiotic stress in plants, but …

The LOX genes have been identified and characterized in many plant species, but studies on
the banana LOX genes are very limited. In this study, we respectively identified 18 MaLOX, …
