- QUT researchers, led by Distinguished Professor James Dale, have developed and grown modified Cavendish bananas resistant to the devastating soil-borne fungus Fusarium wilt tropical race 4 (TR4), also known at Panama disease TR4.

I have faith in science. I knew it would only be a matter of time before a geneticist spliced a gene from a Wild or a less cultivated Bannana that is resistant to the Panama 4 disease. These Geneticists should do this to the Gros Michel Bannana It would be nice to have the Gros Michel Bannana brought back to market. The Gros Michel Bannana was at one time the banana that was on all fresh fruit and vegetable isles
Gros Michel would be neat, but it'd be nice to see more cultivars made marketable too! Places that grow bananas have access to quite a lot of variety the rest of us miss out on because they're small, unsuitable for transport, thin-skinned, disease prone, or what have you. Bringing a few of these to the point where they're able to be cultivated and shipped on a large scale would alleviate some of the risk of disease.
I have a dream.... One day Cavendish, Gros Michel, and other varieties of banana will be allowed to sit on the same shelf together. End segregation and diversify our bananas.
A very interesting finding indeed, congratulations. We are still facing a challange to produce resistant lines of berangan in SEA.
Can you guys give me a report at all? So I can use some numbers to make a report?
Is this available in Philippines?
It is available in Malaysia already exporting to mainland China email> ramonmunian@gmail.com
@@ramonmunian5404 Thanks a lot
are Cavendish bananas still doomed?
@@dissturbbed regardless of the country's stance on genetic research, undoomed Cavendish bananas can be imported
intrestis
intresting
it should be in te res ting
:)
But they are genetically modifying the organism to make it resistant, correct? How do we know the effect it will have on those consuming it?
By eating them you genius.
@@NomoSapienss In that case you go first
@Pietro Baroni We didn't, and now look at all the crazy health issues we're having in the US
At least they are using banana genes and not monkey.
You'll grow horns after eating GM bananas
Too bad that anti-GMO propaganda has been so effective because this kind of work is so important and it should be recognised as such.
So important because the public is too childish to eat bananas that already exist and are naturally resistant to this disease?
@@johndodge8999 And how many of these disease resistant bananas have you tried? Do you think any of them would work in a banana bread or banana pudding? If so, which ones?
@@johndodge8999 Tell me one variety
