Abstract:
Indonesia is ranked sixth in banana production with total production in 2015 of 7.299.275. the more people who like bananas, the higher the volume of banana peel waste produced. Banana peels are usually thrown away immediately and can contaminate the soil surface because banana peels contain acid so that it can have an impact on evironmental problems. The starch content of banan peels has the potential to be used as a raw material for bioethanol production with the help of the fermentation process. Therefore this research aims to determine the quality of bioethanol which is produced from several types of banana peels. The types of banana peels used are Ambon banana peel, Barangan banana peel and horn banana peel. The method used to manufacture bioethanol form the types of banana peel of ambon, barangan and horn is fermentation using yeast tape or saccharomyses cereviciae. The variables observed in this study were the variety of banana peel types, fermentation time for 6 days and 10 days, and the use of yeast as much as 5 grams. The fermentation results in the form of bioethanol were analyzed using gas chromatography, the best results from this study were obtained on the type of banana peel of Ambon for 10 days, that is 4.451% bioethanol.

Abstract:
Farmers in Indonesia suffer losses due to banana blood disease. One of the districts that experienced a decline in banana production was the District of Masni, Manokwari Regency. Through this research, an analysis of banana varieties that were infected with banana blood disease was carried out in Bowi Subur Village of Masni District. A survey method was used in observing disease symptoms that appeared on banana plant organs, moreover, some interviews were done with farmers. The results showed as many as 7 varieties of bananas were attacked by the banana blood disease. The level of damage found in each banana variety is different. Banana varieties that show symptoms of disease with a level of damage of ˃70% are kapok bananas (Musa balbisiana), raja bananas (Musa paradisiaca), and muslin bananas (Musa acuminata), varieties with damage levels > 30-70%, namely tanduk bananas (Musa paradisiaca), susu banana (Musa acuminata), Ambon banana (Musa acuminata), varieties with <30% damage rate are lilin banana (Musa acuminata).

Abstract:
Banana is one of the fruits widely consumed by the people of Indonesia. This can be proven by the many types of bananas that grow and are marketed in all regions in Indonesia. Banana sellers can quickly get bananas to market, and consumers can buy them at varying prices. However, the problem arising from banana fruit is its relatively short life span. It is characterized by black spots that appear on the banana and mark the banana will begin to rot. Therefore, the process of processing bananas into beru products, namely banana sales, is carried out. The service activity began with an interview with banana sellers at the Karang Jasi market and Sweta market, Mataram City. This resource person obtained information about the banana sale and how to process it. Banana sale processing is divided into three stages: banana preparation, skinning and slicing bananas, and drying. Banana drying takes ± eight days in consistently hot weather. Banana sale that is formed can be consumed directly and reprocessed into fried bananas. With this service activity, it is hoped that it can provide information to the community about how to process almost rotten bananas and use them as additional income.

Abstract:
Banana (Musa paradisiaca) is a very popular fruit in Indonesia. Banana production in Indonesia, with more than 200 types of bananas, accounts for more than 50% of banana production in Asia. Differences in how to consume Ambon bananas and Kepok bananas and their various benefits encourage cultivators to be careful in choosing seeds to avoid mistakes. Distinguishing the seeds of Ambon bananas and kepok bananas is more difficult than distinguishing between Ambon bananas and kepok bananas. This is because the leaves and stems of the seeds look the same. The purpose of this study is to use an optimization algorithm to improve the performance of the image classification algorithm on the image of kepok banana leaves and Ambon bananas to assist in the selection of banana plant seeds that can be used by banana cultivators to get the maximum benefit according to the desired type of banana. The results of this study are used as the basis for making a decision support system to assist in the selection of banana plant seeds that can be used by banana cultivators in order to get the maximum benefit according to the desired type of banana

Abstract:
Kampar Regency is one of the banana producers in Riau Province. As a producer of very broad bananas, many types are planted, such as: plantain, stone, bantan, sticks and so on. Bananas are very easy to get at a cheaper price, so they have the potential to develop activities into various variations and have a high selling value. This banana is very useful, banana is a healthy and delicious type that contains fiber, antioxidants and also contains lots of Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, carbohydrates and protein which are good for consumption for anyone. Bananas are an important source of fiber which helps the digestive system and is good for dieting. The purpose of this activity is to assist farmers in increasing the purchase of bananas produced by processing bananas into healthy, tasty, and attractive products for consumers to sell. Processed products such as banana satay, banana sigho and banana sanok. Banana processing is expected to improve the economy of banana farmers because so far bananas are only sold cheaply to collectors or traders at very low prices and get little profit from their harvests. Constraints faced by farmers are the use of science and technology in terms of banana production by using a blender, the purchase price of banana farmers is not proportional to the profits obtained because collectors and actors provide low prices to farmers, low motivation in banana processing. Activities that will be carried out in this Community Partnership Program include several development efforts, namely: 1. Use of science and technology in terms of banana production, which aims to make it easier for farmers to start, 2. motivate banana farmers to become entrepreneurs, 3. Training / practice of making products from bananas because there are so many products that can be made from bananas themselves. The product variants made are banana satay, sigho banana, sanok banana, 4. Packing / packaging the product until it is ready for sale, 5. Sales strategy with bananas to collectors or directly to the traditional market in Kampar district. And processed products from bananas will be sold to stalls, or opening stalls, on the internet.

Abstract:
A Banana is a fruit that can bear fruit regardless of the season. Bananas can grow in upland and lowland areas. Bananas are mostly produced in Asahduren Village, a village located in Pekutatan District, which is 75 km from the provincial capital of Bali. This very abundant banana fruit causes the community to be overwhelmed, so many are wasted after being used for traditional ceremonies. Therefore, community service is carried out with counseling methods, training, and product manufacturing practices. The community was given knowledge about processing bananas into banana chips snacks, processed banana jam, banana flour, banana sale, banana brownies and banana cakes, packaging, storage, marketing, entrepreneurship, and business management. With the skill of processing bananas into processed products, the group's income can increase.

Abstract:
The average banana production in Pakemitan Village is 9.2 tons/year. The jackfruit and ambon bananas dominate nearly 63.84% of the total banana production in Pakemitan Village. When the number of harvests increases, jackfruit and ambon bananas were not sold in the market. With abundant and cheap bananas, and unhygienic drying of sale bananas using sunlight, it is necessary to encourage housewives to convert bananas into sale bananas and drying them with biomass drying technology. The training implementation method starts from program socialization, theoretical training on making banana sale, preparation of tools and materials, and field practice of making banana sale and drying it with biomass dryer. The housewives who attended the training were 15 people. Housewives are informed about the procedure and practice of making banana sale and the process of drying banana sale. The results of the evaluation showed that over 80% of housewives were categorized as skilled participants in making banana sale and using biomass dryers. The results show that there is an increase in insight and knowledge of making banana sale using a biomass dryer, so participants can make banana sale independently.

Abstract: Banana is the second most commercialized fruit crop in the world. Since it is very appreciated by the Brazilian consumer, in the last years, several technologies have come out to help in the development of the crop, mainly related to the quality of fruits. In this context, the objective of this work was to use banana bagging techniques for improvements in the banana cultivation process. Polyethylene bags of white, black, red, blue colors and the control (no bagging) were used in this technique. A randomized complete block design with five treatments, four replications, two plants per plot, totaling 80 plants was used. The evaluated characteristics in the post-harvest were the bunch mass, fruit mass, number of fruits per bunch, bunch number, second bunch mass, number of fruits of second batch, length, diameter, pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, pulp/peel ratio, maturation index and maturation days. The phytosanitary quality of the fruits was evaluated, and the symptoms of thrips and anthracnose were assessed. In addition, the physical characteristics of the fruit, which is represented by the mass of the bunch, mass of the rachis, mass of the fruit, number of fruit per bunch, number of penca by bunch, productivity, mass of the second bunch, number of fruit in the second bunch, length and diameter of the fruit in the second bunch and physical chemical characteristics of the fruit, soluble solids, acidity, relation pulp/peel, index of maturation and period of maturation were evaluated. It was verified that for the variable mass of the second bunch, the white and black bags presented better results, whereas for pH variable the blue staining was the one which showed better results, and for the soluble solids it was the control group. This work showed that the efficiency of bagging is associated with the type and color of the bag which is used, since the coverings assign a thermal role inside ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerance of fruits of different banana cultivars to low temperature storage. Fruits of the cultivars Nanicão (AAA), Prata (AAB), Vitória (AAAB), Maçã (AAB) and Caipira (AAA) were used. Hands were subdivided into clusters of three fruits, which were kept in cold storage for 7, 14 and 21 days, with an average temperature of 10.53  0.37 °C and relative humidity of 85%. Subsequently, the clusters were transferred to the temperature of 22  0.39 °C, to complete the ripening. The experiment was in a split plot design, having five cultivars in the plots and evaluation days in the subplots, in a completely randomized design with four replications and one cluster per experimental unit. Data were analyzed by variance analyses and regression. The Dunnett test at 5% probability was used to compare data from control (start of storage) with those of the end of storage. Each storage period was analyzed separately. The fruits of all cultivars remained green after 21 days of storage at 10.53 C  0.37 °C. Fruits of the cultivar Nanicão did not complete the ripening after they were transferred to 22 °C, when stored for 7 days at low temperature. These fruits were firmer, with green skin, low soluble solids and low titratable acidity. After 21 days of cold storage, the fruits of all cultivars completed ripening, when transferred to room temperature. The chilling injury increased with the advance of the cold storage for all cultivars. Fruits of Nanicão , Caipira and Maçã had more obvious symptoms of chilling injury. Fruits of Prata and Vitória were more tolerant to cold storage at a temperature of 10.53 °C for up to 21 days, showing normal ripening after transfer to 22 °C.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a tolerância dos frutos de diferentes cultivares de bananeira a baixa temperatura de armazenamento. Foram utilizados frutos dos cultivares Nanicão (AAA), Prata (AAB), Vitória (AAAB), Maçã (AAB) e Caipira (AAA). Utilizaram-se buquês com três frutos, mantidos em câmara fria por 7, 14 e 21 dias, com temperatura média de 10,53  0,37 °C e umidade relativa do ar de 85%. Posteriormente, os buquês foram transferidos para a temperatura de 22  0,39 °C, para completar o amadurecimento. O experimento foi em esquema de parcelas subdivididas, tendo-se nas parcelas cinco cultivares e nas subparcelas os dias de avaliação, no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições e um buquê de três frutos por unidade amostral. Os dados foram analisados por meio de análises de variância e regressão. O teste de Dunnett foi utilizado para comparar os dados da testemunha (início do armazenamento) com os dos dias do fim do armazenamento, a 5% de probabilidade. Cada período de armazenamento foi analisado separadamente. Os frutos dos cultivares estudados permaneceram verdes após 21 dias de armazenamento à 10,53  0,37 °C. Frutos do cultivar Nanicão não completaram o amadurecimento após serem transferidos para a temperatura de 22 °C, quando armazenados por 7 dias à baixa temperatura, apresentando frutos mais firmes, com casca verde, baixos teores de sólidos solúveis e acidez titulável. Após 21 dias de armazenamento refrigerado, os frutos de todos os cultivares completaram o amadurecimento, depois de transferidos para temperatura ambiente. Os danos por frio aumentaram com o avanço do tempo de armazenamento refrigerado, para todos os cultivares. Nanicão , Caipira e Maçã apresentaram sintomas mais evidentes de dano por frio. As bananas Prata e Vitória mostraram-se mais tolerantes ao armazenamento refrigerado na temperatura de 10,53 °C por até 21 dias, exibindo amadurecimento normal após a transferência para a temperatura de 22 °C.

Bananas are the number one selling produce item in the grocery store. On average, bananas account for 6% of produce department sales and 1% of total grocery store sales. According to The Packer’s “2010 Fresh Trends”, 88% of consumers in all categories purchase bananas. Also, 94% of consumers in the study purchased bananas within the last twelve months. Over the last decade, fuel prices have increased to a point where logistics and shipping have become more important than ever to the banana industry. This logistics challenge is compounded because there are no bananas grown in the United States and the fruit has to be shipped from around the world. Fuel is used at high rates via the ocean cargo and trucking shipments to meet yearly demand. To manage these logistical challenges, this thesis analyzes the optimal shipping route for bananas arriving to the west coast from Central and South America to various markets using a transshipment model. The goal of the transshipment model estimates the supply chain that creates the lowest cost. Through analysis of fuel, trucking, and shipping markets, the model makes the optimal decision regarding transportation routing. The model is limited to transportation costs only. However, items such as fruit costs and other additional up charges could be analyzed.

Abstract:
The study achieved a better understanding of the epidemiology and ecology of Banana streak virus (BSV) in Uganda, generating information useful in designing management strategies to limit the spread of BSV. An identification key for the mealybugs on Musa in Africa was constructed. Screenhouse transmission experiments identified Dysmicoccus brevipes, Planococcus citri and a Pseudococcus sp. from bananas as mealybugs able to transmit the virus. Field observations also demonstrated that mealybugs are able to spread from plant to plant. Monitoring spread of BSV in new fields revealed that both onset and rate of spread was site specific; however, it was not clear why this was the case. The first incidence of BSV infection in Rakai was 28 months after planting (MAP), but in Ntungamo it was only 6 MAP. BSV incidence then increased to 28%, 72MAP at a rate of 0.10 new infections/infected plant/month and 43%, 28MAP at a rate of 0.23 new infections/infected plant/ month in Rakai and Ntungamo respectively. BSV spreads slowly in some locations, and is therefore probably amenable to control by phytosanitary measures. These would comprise primarily of the use of virus-free planting material and roguing infected plants. BSV spread predominantly within-field once initial infections were established. New infections were more likely to occur within 10 rows/columns from an old infection. More spread occurred to plants bordering established infected fields in Ntungamo. Spread of BSV into the new fields from the surroundings suggests need for separation of new fields from old infected fields in order to delay onset of BSV and reduce BSV incidence.

Resumo: O Brasil é o quarto maior produtor mundial de banana, no entanto, apresenta dificuldades quanto à participação expressiva no mercado internacional, o que por sua vez, está diretamente relacionada aos fatores de padrões tradicionais de produção, com baixos investimentos de capital e tecnologia na maioria das regiões produtoras no país. Para que se tenham frutos de alta qualidade, há necessidade da adoção de inúmeras técnicas culturais e dentre estas, está o ensacamento dos cachos, que, apesar de onerar o custo de produção, é uma prática que vem sendo recomendada em plantios comerciais de bananeira que produzem frutos com melhor qualidade.

Abstract: Brazil is the fourth largest producer of banana in the world, however, it presents difficulties in expressive participation in the international market, which in turn is directly related to the factors of traditional production patterns, with low investments of capital and technology in the majority of producing regions in the country. In order to have high quality fruits, there is a need to adopt numerous cultural techniques, among which is the bagging of bunches, which, despite costing the production, is a practice that has been recommended in commercial banana plantations that produce better quality fruits. In view of the above, the present work had the objective of evaluating the influence of types of materials for banana bagging on the development and quality of 'BRS Platina' banana fruits. The experiment was carried out at Experimental Farm Lageado, belonging to UNESP, Botucatu campus. The experimental design was a randomized block design, consisting of six treatments, four blocks and four plants per plot. The treatments were: T1 - control (without bagging); T2 - Polypropylene bag (TNT), black color + Kraft paper; T3 - Polyethylene bag, black color + Kraft paper; T4 - Kraft paper; T5 - Polypropylene bag (TNT), white color; T6 - Polyethylene bag, white color. Evaluations of phenological characteristics, productive agronomic performance, post-harvest quality of fruits and economic analysis were performed. The results were statistically evaluated by analysis of variance with application of the F test at 5% probability (p <0.05) and the means compared by the Scott-Knott test at the 5% probability level. It was concluded that the bagging is effective in the control of thrips of the eruption and in the reduction of defects or injuries, not affecting the production, besides promoting few changes in the physical and chemical characteristics of the fruits. The treatment with bagging using ...

Abstract:
AbstractMutagenesis of in vitro propagated bananas is an efficient method to introduce novel alleles and broaden genetic diversity. The FAO/IAEA Plant Breeding and Genetics Laboratory previously established efficient methods for mutation induction of in vitro shoot tips in banana using physical and chemical mutagens as well as methods for the efficient discovery of ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) induced single nucleotide mutations in targeted genes. Officially released mutant banana varieties have been created using gamma rays, a mutagen that can produce large genomic changes such as insertions and deletions (InDels). Such dosage mutations may be particularly important for generating observable phenotypes in polyploids such as banana. Here, we describe a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) approach in Cavendish (AAA) bananas to identify large genomic InDels. The method is based on low coverage whole genome sequencing (LC-WGS) using an Illumina short-read sequencing platform. We provide details for sonication-mediated library preparation and the installation and use of freely available computer software to identify copy number variation in Cavendish banana. Alternative DNA library construction procedures and bioinformatics tools are briefly described. Example data is provided for the mutant variety Novaria and cv Grande Naine (AAA), but the methodology can be equally applied for triploid bananas with mixed genomes (A and B) and is useful for the characterization of putative Fusarium Wilt TR4 resistant mutant lines described elsewhere in this protocol book.

Abstract:
AbstractFusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is considered one of the most devastating diseases of banana in the world. Effective management of Fusarium wilt is only achieved by planting banana varieties resistant to Foc. Resistant bananas, however, require many years of breeding and field-testing under multiple geographical conditions. Field evaluation is reliable but time consuming and expensive. Small plant screening methods are, therefore, needed to speed up the evaluation of banana varieties for Foc resistance. To this end, a small plant screening method for resistance to banana Fusarium wilt is presented. The method proposes the planting of 2- to 3-month-old banana plants in soil amended with 10 g Foc-colonised millet seeds. Rhizome discoloration is then evaluated to rank the disease resistance response. The optimized millet seed technique could be useful in mass screening of newly developed genotypes for resistance to Foc.

Abstract:
A banana é um importante produto da fruticultura, pois além de ser um alimento rico em potássio e vitaminas, gera postos de trabalho no campo e na cidade, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento das regiões envolvidas em sua cadeia produtiva. O processo de reconhecimento do estado de maturação da banana normalmente depende do olho humano do fruticultor, portanto é passível de erros sobretudo considerando um processo escalável. Em uma perspectiva de automatizar esse processo, datasets de imagens de bananas são requisitos fundamentais para treinamento de algoritmos de aprendizagem de máquina usando processamento digital de imagens. Neste artigo, apresentamos um dataset com 1000 imagens de bananas do tipo Prata Catarina separadas em 8 classes de maturação. As imagens foram coletadas com variações propositais do plano de fundo e rotuladas via caixas delimitadoras, demarcando a banana na imagem e atribuindo-lhe um grau de maturação. Até onde sabemos, este é o primeiro dataset brasileiro de acesso público com imagens de bananas rotuladas em 8 graus de maturação.

Abstract:
Introdução: A cultura da banana abrange uma das maiores atividades econômica do agronegócio no Brasil, tendo sua importância, tanto na produção, como no consumo. Devido à relevância da cultura da banana, as práticas de manejo agrícola vêm melhorando o cultivo através de tecnologias, entre as quais se destaca a micropropagação ou cultivo in vitro. Em vista disso, o presente trabalho objetiva definir a tecnologia de micropropagação e sua importância; - compreender as vantagens e as desvantagens da técnica na produção de mudas micropropagadas em bananeira; identificar as fases de micropropagação realizadas no cultivo de banana. A metodologia consiste em isolar em condições assépticas os ápices caulinares de plantas matrizes, onde contém todos os ingredientes necessários para induzir a reprodução de uma nova planta em condições controladas de cultivo, sendo realizado em laboratório. Os resultados mostraram que as vantagens são superiores às limitações da técnica de micropropagação em bananas, tendo em vista, que a produtividade é superior para o produtor. Além disso, as etapas identificadas às quais são: triagem dos explantes, limpeza asséptica, isolamento do explante e implantação da cultura, brotações e formação de novas raízes in vitro em sala aclimatizada, são de grande importância na técnica de cultivo in vitro, pois das tais etapas dependerá toda a produtividade e qualidade da fruta. Dessa forma, conclui - se que esta tecnologia de micropropagação, é amplamente estudada e tem encontrado aplicações práticas comprovadas, na cultura da banana, propiciando ao agricultor mudas certificadas de alto padrão genético, assim como, plantas isentas de doenças. A continuidade do trabalho dar-se-á por meio de estudos que visem baratear esta técnica a fim de aproximála da realidade do pequeno agricultor.

Abstract:
O Brasil é um dos maiores produtores de frutas tropicais do mundo, com relação a banana ocupa o quarto lugar em produtividade mundial. Em decorrência disto, é apto formar enormes dimensões de resíduos agroindustriais, os quais nem sempre encontram destinos adequados. Diante da preocupação energética e ambiental surge a proposta da utilização dos resíduos com a finalidade otimizar a produção de bioetanol através da fermentação, sendo necessário para isso adaptações no processo como a hidrolisação do material lignocelulósico e a utilização de microrganismos específicos. Desta forma, o presente estudo procurou verificar dados atualizados de aproveitamento dos resíduos de bananas para a produção de bioetanol, levando em consideração o dueto: produção energética e sustentabilidade. Com a realização do estudo foi possível verificar o potencial brasileiro em otimizar a produção energética com a incorporação de resíduos de banana no processo de obtenção do bioetanol, por ser um dos maiores produtores do vegetal e possibilidade de adaptação técnica do processo.

Abstract:
Fruit deterioration is a consequence of a genetically-determined fruit ripening and senescence programs, in which developmental factors lead to a climacteric rise of ethylene production in ethylene-sensitive fruits such as tomato and banana. Breeding of tomato with extended fruit shelf life involves the incorporation of a mutation in RIN, a MADS-box transcription factor participating in developmental control signalling of ripening. The RIN mode of action is not fully understood, and it may be predicted to interact with other MADS-box genes to execute its effects. The overall goal of this study was to demonstrate conservation of ripening control functions between banana and tomato and thus, the potential to genetically extend shelf-life in banana based on tools developed in tomato. The specific objectives were: 1. To increase the collection of potential RIN-like genes from banana; 2. To verify their action as developmental regulators; 3. To elucidate MADS-box gene mode of action in ripening control; 4. To create transgenic banana plants that express low levels of endogenous Le-RIN- like, MaMADS- gene(s). We have conducted experiments in banana as well as in tomato. In tomato we have carried out the transformation of the tomato rin mutant with the MaMADS1 and MaMADS2 banana genes. We have also developed a number of domain swap constructs to functionally examine the ripening-specific aspects of the RIN gene. Our results show the RIN-C terminal region is essential for the gene to function in the ripening signalling pathway. We have further explored the tomato genome databases and recovered an additional MADS-box gene necessary for fruit ripening. This gene has been previously termed TAGL1 but has not been functionally characterized in transgenic plants. TAGL1 is induced during ripening and we have shown via RNAi repression that it is necessary for both fleshy fruit expansion and subsequent ripening. In banana we have cloned the full length of six MaMADS box genes from banana and determined their spatial and temporal expression patterns. We have created antibodies to MaMADS2 and initiated ChI assay. We have created four types of transgenic banana plants designed to reduce the levels of two of the MaMADS box genes. Our results show that the MaMADS-box genes expression in banana is dynamically changing after harvest and most of them are induced at the onset of the climacteric peak. Most likely, different MaMADS box genes are active in the pulp and peel and they are differently affected by ethylene. Only the MaMADS2 box gene expression is not affected by ethylene indicating that this gene might act upstream to the ethylene response pathway. The complementation analysis in tomato revealed that neither MaMADS1 nor MaMADS2 complement the rin mutation suggesting that they have functionally diverged sufficiently to not be able to interact in the context of the tomato ripening regulatory machinery. The developmental signalling pathways controlling ripening in banana and tomato are not identical and/or have diverged through evolution. Nevertheless, at least the genes MaMADS1 and MaMADS2 constitute part of the developmental control of ripening in banana, since transgenic banana plants with reduced levels of these genes are delayed in ripening. The detailed effect on peel and pulp, of these transgenic plants is underway. So far, these transgenic bananas can respond to exogenous ethylene, and they seem to ripen normally. The response to ethylene suggest that in banana the developmental pathway of ripening is different than that in tomato, because rin tomatoes do not ripen in response to exogenous ethylene, although they harbor the ethylene response capability This study has a major contribution both in scientific and agricultural aspects. Scientifically, it establishes the role of MaMADS box genes in a different crop-the banana. The developmental ripening pathway in banana is similar, but yet different from that of the model plant tomato and one of the major differences is related to ethylene effect on this pathway in banana. In addition, we have shown that different components of the MaMADS-box genes are employed in peel and pulp. The transgenic banana plants created can help to further study the ripening control in banana. An important and practical outcome of this project is that we have created several banana transgenic plants with fruit of extended shelf life. These bananas clearly demonstrate the potential of MaMADS gene control for extending shelf-life, enhancing fruit quality, increasing yield in export systems and for improving food security in areas where Musaspecies are staple food crops.

Abstract:
Background : Banana being a monocot and having distinct peel and pulp tissues is unique among the fleshy fruits and hence can provide a more comprehensive understanding of fruit ripening. Our previous research which translated ripening discoveries from tomato, led to the identification of six banana fruit-associated MADS-box genes, and we confirmed the positive role of MaMADS1/2 in banana ripening. The overall goal was to further elucidate the banana ripening signaling pathway as mediated by MADS-boxtranscriptional regulators. Specific objectives were: 1) characterize transcriptional profiles and quality of MaMADS1/2 repressed fruit; 2) reveal the role of additional MaMADSgenes in ripening; 3) develop a model of fruit MaMADS-box mode of action; and 4) isolate new components of the banana ripening signaling pathway. Major conclusion: The functions of the banana MaMADS1-5 have been examined by complimenting the rinor the TAGL1-suppressed lines of tomato. Only MaMADS5 exhibited partial complementation of TAGL1-suppressed and rinlines, suggesting that while similar genes play corresponding roles in ripening, evolutionary divergence makes heterologous complementation studies challenging. Nevertheless, the partial complementation of tomato TAGL1-surpessed and rinlines with MaMADS5 suggests this gene is likely an important ripening regulator in banana, worthy of further study. RNA-seqtranscriptome analysis during ripening was performed on WT and MaMADS2-suppressed lines revealing additional candidate genes contributing to ripening control mechanisms. In summary, we discovered 39 MaMADS-box genes in addition to homologues of CNR, NOR and HB-1 expressed in banana fruits, and which were shown in tomato to play necessary roles in ripening. For most of these genes the expression in peel and pulp was similar. However, a number of key genes were differentially expressed between these tissues indicating that the regulatory components which are active in peel and pulp include both common and tissue-specific regulatory systems, a distinction as compared to the more uniform tomato fruit pericarp. Because plant hormones are well documented to affect fruit ripening, the expressions of genes within the auxin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, salicylic and ethylene signal transduction and synthesis pathways were targeted in our transcriptome analysis. Genes’ expression associated with these pathways generally declined during normal ripening in both peel and pulp, excluding cytokinin and ethylene, and this decline was delayed in MaMADS2-suppressed banana lines. Hence, we suggest that normal MaMADS2 activity promotes the observed downward expression within these non-ethylene pathways (especially in the pulp), thus enabling ripening progression. In contrast, the expressions of ACSand ACOof the ethylene biosynthesis pathway increase in peel and pulp during ripening and are delayed/inhibited in the transgenic bananas, explaining the reduced ethylene production of MaMADS2-suppressed lines. Inferred by the different genes’ expression in peel and pulp of the gibberellins, salicylic acid and cytokinins pathways, it is suggested that hormonal regulation in these tissues is diverse. These results provide important insights into possible avenues of ripening control in the diverse fruit tissues of banana which was not previously revealed in other ripening systems. As such, our transcriptome analysis of WT and ripening delayed banana mutants provides a starting point for further characterization of ripening. In this study we also developed novel evidence that the cytoskeleton may have a positive role in ripening as components of this pathway were down-regulated by MaMADS2 suppression. The mode of cytoskeleton involvement in fruit ripening remains unclear but presents a novel new frontier in ripening investigations. In summary, this project yielded functional understanding of the role and mode of action of MaMADS2 during ripening, pointing to both induction of ethylene and suppression of non-ethylene hormonal singling pathways. Furthermore, our data suggest important roles for cytoskeleton components and MaMADS5 in the overall banana ripening control network. Implications: The project revealed new molecular components/genes involved in banana ripening and refines our understanding of ripening responses in the peel and pulp tissues of this important species. This information is novel as compared to that derived from the more uniform carpel tissues of other highly studied ripening systems including tomato and grape. The work provides specific target genes for potential modification through genetic engineering or for exploration of useful genetic diversity in traditional breeding. The results from the project might point toward improved methods or new treatments to improve banana fruit storage and quality.
