- W4385442008 abstract "Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by the soil-borne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is a major constraint to banana production worldwide (Viljoen et al., 2020). Currently, Cavendish bananas are severely affected by Foc Tropical Race 4 (TR4) globally. In Africa, Foc TR4 was first detected in northern Mozambique in 2013 (Viljoen et al., 2020), and has since been found on the island of Mayotte in the Mozambique Channel off the coast of southeastern Africa (Aguayo et al., 2021). In early 2023, severe leaf-yellowing and wilting of Cavendish banana plants was observed on Cavendish banana plants at several small holder farmer properties in Grande Comoros (Ngazidja) including in Ntsinimoipanga (-11,790054 S, 43°25’47,04384 E), Batou (-11,499716 S, 43°21’51,71976’’E), Madjeweni (-11,8217 S , 43°16’41’’E) and Mdé (-11°41’54’’ S, 43°15’20’’E). When the pseudostems of these plants were split open, a reddish-brown internal discoloration of the vascular tissue became apparent. Discolored strands of diseased plants were collected, and the causal agent identified using DNA-based techniques, vegetative compatibility group (VCG) analysis and pathogenicity testing. The samples were plated onto potato dextrose agar and single-spored and isolated from individual diseased plants identified as F. oxysporum based on cultural and morphological characteristics. These include the production of white fungal colonies with a purple center, infrequent production of macroconidia, but an abundance of microconidia on short monophialides, and terminal or intercalary chlamydospores (Leslie and Summerell, 2006). Foc TR4 was identified from seven isolates by conventional (Dita et al., 2010) and quantitative-PCR (Matthews et al., 2020), and with loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) (Ordóñez et al., 2021). All seven isolates were confirmed as members of the VCG 01213/16 complex when nit-1 mutants of the unknown Foc isolates were compatible with Nit-M mutants of the Foc VCG 01213 and VCG 01216 tester strains. Two isolates were then selected for pathogenicity testing, and 2-month-old tissue culture-derived Cavendish plants (cv. Williams) inoculated by using the method described by Ndayihanzamaso et al. (2022). After 4 weeks, the Foc TR4-inoculated plants produced wilting symptoms and internal rhizome discoloration typical of Fusarium wilt. Foc TR4 was reisolated from the inoculated plants and identified by qPCR (Matthews et al. 2020), thereby fulfilling Koch’s postulates. These results provide scientific proof of the presence of Foc TR4 in a second island in the Comoros archipelago. Comprehensive surveys will be conducted in all three of the Comoros Islands to assess the presence and impact of Foc TR4 to implement containment strategies. Collaborative initiatives and coordinated actions among growers and other stakeholders are needed to prevent the spread of Foc TR4 to more Southwest Indian Ocean islands and countries on the East African coasts. The importance of banana for food security and livelihoods, and the unique genetic diversity of bananas found on the Comoros islands, requires the eradication and isolation of diseased bananas on the short term, and the screening of local banana varieties for Foc TR4 resistance on the longer term." @default.
