TABLE 2.

Target domains for the assessed research options to address Fusarium wilt of bananas.

Research option Improved exclusion, surveillance, eradication, and containment (ESEC) Integrated crop and disease management (ICDM) Conventional breeding of Fusarium resistant banana cultivars (CBRC) Genetically modified Fusarium resistant banana cultivars (GMRC)
Target domain Production areas of all six cultivar groups in countries in Africa, LAC, and Asia/Pacific where Fusarium Foc TR4 is either already present or will very likely spread in the near future Production areas of all six cultivar groups in countries in Africa, LAC, and Asia/Pacific where soils are infested with Fusarium R1 and/or TR4 Production area of all six cultivar groups in Africa, LAC, and Asia/Pacific Production area of “Cavendish AAA” in countries where local markets are important (export-oriented countries are less likely to adopt GM varieties due to political and consumer concerns in importing countries)

Applicable cultivars Cavendish AAA; other AAA + Gros Michel + AA; East African Highland AAA; AAB Plantain; other AAB; ABB Foc TR4: •Cavendish AAA; other AAA + Gros Michel + AA; East African Highland AAA; AAB Plantain; other AAB; ABB (in Asia/Pacific and LAC) • Cavendish AAA; other AAA + Gros Michel + AA; East African Highland AAA; AAB Plantain; other AAB; ABB Cavendish AAA
Cavendish AAA (in Africa)
