Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Three fungal PKS gene clusters had high expression in infected banana from weeks 2 through 9.
- Intervention effect Silencing PKS10-2 significantly reduced banana disease symptoms and severity.
- Association Disease severity correlated with the extent of PKS10-2 silencing.
- Intervention effect Two of four PKS8-2 silencing transformants reduced disease development.
- Association Disease development did not correlate with the degree of PKS8-2 silencing.
- Observation PKS8-2 transformants attained less silencing than PKS10-2 transformants.
- Observation Genome analysis found PKS10-2 orthologous clusters in P. fuligena and P. cruenta.
