Genome sequence of Ralstonia syzygii subsp. celebesensis, the causal agent of banana blood disease on Musa balbisiana cultivar Kepok in bali, Indonesia.

Objectives: Blood Disease of Banana brought on by Ralstonia syzygii subsp. celebesensis (Rsc) results in yield losses in Indonesia up to 90%. Among the symptoms are wilting, vascular staining, fruit rot, and plant death.

Metabolic profiling reveals distinctive ripening dynamics in ethylene-treated Musa balbisiana cv. 'Pisang Klutuk Wulung' compared to commercial Cavendish banana.

As an important crop, bananas still encounter fruit quality and shelf-life problems that are affected by the ripening process. Improving postharvest technologies may effectively address these challenges, such as by studying the ripening mechanism of banana cultivars with a slow ripening process. A banana cultivar that exhibits this characteristic is Musa balbisiana cv.

A computational simulation appraisal of banana lectin as a potential anti-SARS-CoV-2 candidate by targeting the receptor-binding domain.

Background: The ongoing concern surrounding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily stems from continuous mutations in the genome of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), leading to the emergence of numerous variants. The receptor-binding domain (RBD) in the S1 subunit of the S protein of the virus plays a crucial role in recognizing the host's angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptor and facilitating cell membrane fusion processes, making it a potential target for preventing viral entrance into cells. This research aimed to determine the potential of banana lectin (BanLec) proteins to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 attachment to host cells by interacting with RBD through computational modeling.

Computational prediction of the effect of mutations in the receptor-binding domain on the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and human ACE2.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19 continues to mutate. Numerous studies have indicated that this viral mutation, particularly in the receptor-binding domain area, may increase the viral affinity for human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2), the receptor for viral entry into host cells, thereby increasing viral virulence and transmission. In this study, we investigated the binding affinity of SARS-CoV-2 variants (Delta plus, Iota, Kappa, Mu, Lambda, and C.

Transcriptome dataset of ethylene-treated Klutuk Wulung banana.

Klutuk Wulung banana ( Colla, BB Group) is a climacteric fruit whose ripening is influenced by ethylene production. This banana fruit has a relatively slow ripening process time and long shelf-life compared with A genome banana (, AA). Bananas are usually harvested at a pre-climacteric stage and ripened artificially by exogenous ethylene.

Carrageenan Edible Coating Application Prolongs Cavendish Banana Shelf Life.

Banana is very important for both food and economic securities in many tropical and subtropical countries, because of its nutritional values. However, banana fruit is a climacteric fruit which has short shelf life, so an alternative method to delay its ripening is needed. Our group has used carrageenan as an edible coating to delay banana fruit ripening.

Dataset of Cavendish banana transcriptome in response to chitosan coating application.

Banana is a climacteric fruit and its ripening process is greatly influenced by presence of ethylene. This physiological climacteric characteristic of banana fruit leads to a fast ripening and a short shelf-life. Application of edible coating such as chitosan aims to prolong fruit shelf life.

Dataset of microbial community structure in alcohol sprayed banana associated with ripening process.

Banana ripening is a complex molecular process that produces visible changes in the texture, aroma, taste and nutritional content. Ripening is controlled by genetic code, metabolic pathway and associated microbiome. We reported the microbial community structure during banana ripening with alcohol treatment to discover endophytic and epiphytic microbes.

Data on banana transcriptome in response to blood disease infection.

Blood disease of Banana (BDB) is one of the prevalent disease caused by subsp. (Rsc) which cause substantial loss on banana production in Indonesia. To date, the genetic basis of plant defense mechanism caused by blood disease in banana is not available.
