바나나의 파나마 바이러스의 치료 PANAMA DISEASE of Banana
Panama disease is a type of Fusarium fungus that is spreading worldwide and there is no groundbreaking treatment to date. However, we hope to experiment with this report as VIRUSZERO produced by Korea Fertilizer is analyzed to be possible.
Panama disease of bananas
This disease was called Panama's disease when it was first discovered in Panama in 1903. Banana leaves wither and dry, and this condition led to the cultivation of `` Gros Michel, '' a cultivar that was cultivated during this period. .
However, a strain of Panamanian disease (Fusarium RT4), which infects the CAVENDISH variety, has emerged, threatening banana producers worldwide.
It was due to the worldwide spread of Fusarium RT4, which was first discovered in Taiwan in the 1990s and spread to China and Southeast Asia. It also occurred in Colombia.
News of the new Panama disease landing in Colombia is straining all Latin American countries as well as Colombian border countries such as Ecuador and Panama, the major exporters of bananas.
Panama officials have embarked on emergency quarantine measures in Colombia, prohibiting the import of banana-related plant products under the Fusarium RT4 outbreak information, disinfecting airports and ports, and strengthening surveillance at border areas. Panama exported approximately $ 160 million worth of bananas to the United States in 2018, accounting for 15.75% of Panama's total exports to Panama in 2018 and 62% of agricultural products.
But James Dale, a professor at the University of Queensland in Australia, said in a 2017 international journal Nature Communication that "new varieties of bananas with genes found in wild bananas were resistant to mold-induced Panama disease in three years of cultivation." The banana is a genetically modified crop (GMO) that adds an external gene to an existing banana.
Dale's team found a recent Asian wild banana that is resistant to Panama's disease, and found that the RGA2 gene plays a key role in overcoming the fungus. The researchers have developed six new varieties of Cavendish.
The problem is that all banana varieties must be changed to new varieties. Otherwise farmers are not relieved of the new Panama disease.
