“…Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TR4 isolates from Israel (FOC TR4-1 from Shfeya and FOC TR4-5 from Ein Gev), Jordan (JV14), the Philippines (S1B8), and Indonesia (II-5) were analyzed. These isolates were compared to ten additional isolates sequenced by Zheng et al 8 and García-Bastidas et al 16 . Subsequent principal component analyses (PCA) and hierarchical clustering revealed three distinct geographical groups of the TR4 isolates: (i) a Middle Eastern clade containing isolates from Israel, Lebanon and Jordan; (ii) a South East Asian clade containing isolates from Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, and Vietnam, and (iii) a clade containing the representative Indonesian isolate and those from Colombia (Figs.…”

“…Approximately 70% production is of the Cavendish cultivar and the fruit is widely consumed and regarded as a staple diet 5 . However, the recent detection of TR4 in four plantations in the north of Colombia, published by García-Bastidas et al 16 and renamed as Fusarium odoratissimum, will likely have devastating consequences to the banana industry and exports worldwide.…”

Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (foc) is considered one of the most devastating soilborne fungal pathogens of banana worldwide. foc causing mortality to cavendish group bananas, and belonging to the unique vegetative compatibility group (VCG) 01213/16 has been termed tropical race 4 (TR4) and has currently been renamed F. odoratissimum. The pathogen that was first detected approximately 50 years ago in South east Asia, has since spread to countries within the greater Mekong subregion and to Australia. Recently, the pathogen disseminated to india, pakistan, oman and Mozambique (Africa) and was identified in the South American continent in Colombia in 2019. In the Middle East, TR4 was first reported from Jordan and Lebanon, and later from Israel in 2016. In Israel, the pathogen was identified as TR4 by VCG tests, pathogenicity assays and molecular verification. The complete genomes of five representative TR4 isolates including two from Israel, one from Jordan, one from the Philippines, and one from indonesia were sequenced, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (Snps) analyses were conducted. SNPs were compared to 11 additional sequenced TR4 isolates, to determine the origin of the israeli isolates. Snp detection and phylogeographical analyses determined that the Middle eastern isolates are closely related, indicating that the pathogen most likely spread to Israel from Jordan, while those from colombia are related to a representative isolate from indonesia. Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most popular exported fruit and serves as a staple diet for millions of people worldwide 1. In 2017, the approximate volume of global production reached 114 million tons totaling a gross value of about US$8 billion per year 2. An estimated 15% of all production reaches international markets, most of which are from cultivars within the Cavendish subgroup. Cavendish cultivars are the most popularly grown and exported bananas worldwide today, due to their resistance to 'Panama disease' caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc) race 1, that eliminated the susceptible 'Gros Michel' cultivar and related industry 1,3. 'Panama disease' or Fusarium wilt, caused by F. o. f.sp. cubense (Foc) race 1, was first described in Australia in 1874 4. The pathogen destroyed the well-established 'Gros Michel' cultivar banana industry that was grown in monoculture plantations in the Americas, Africa and in the Far East during the 1900s 5. Thus, Fusarium wilt became known as a pathogen of significant global importance. The cultivar 'Gros Michel' was subsequently replaced by resistant Cavendish group cultivars, however, the disease recurred approximately 50 years ago in the 1970's in the southeast Asian continent and Australia with the detection of a new race of Foc, tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), causing mortality to Cavendish cultivars 6. Since then the disease has spread throughout SouthEast Asia, to the Middle-East, India and Pakistan, and was recently discovered in the African continent in Mozambique in 2015 7,8. Foc TR4 was...

“…cubense (Fusarium odoratissimum). Actualmente, según García-Bastidas et al (2019), con capacidad de producir estructuras de resistencia (clamidosporas), constantemente liberadas al invadir el huésped, que puede o no mostrar síntomas visibles (Bai et al, 2013;Guo et al, 2015;Dita et al, 2018;Warman y Aitken, 2018). Las clamidosporas le permiten al patógeno adaptarse a condiciones extremas y perpetuarse en el suelo en ausencia de hospederos por más de veinte años, lo que limita su control (Moore et al, 1995;Buddenhagen, 2009).…”

En 2016 fue señalada en Laos e Israel, y en el 2018 en Birmania (Zheng et al, 2018) y en año 2019 en la zona de la Guajira colombiana, Colombia (AUGURA, 2019; Galvis, 2019;García-Bastidas et al, 2019;ICA, 2019;Rodríguez, 2019).…”

“…Ante la reciente declaratoria de emergencia sanitaria por brotes de Foc RT4 en la Guajira colombiana (Colombia), se plantea posible impacto y riesgos para la industria bananera en países de América Latina y el Caribe (LAC), así como la seguridad alimentaria de millones de personas que dependen de la producción de los pequeños agricultores (OIRSA, 2009;Dita et al, 2010;Ploetz, 2015;Warman y Aitken, 2018;Zheng et al, 2018;AUGURA, 2019;García-Bastidas et al, 2019;ICA, 2019;Rodríguez, 2019). Históricamente en la región de LAC, los productores ante la incidencia de las R1 y R2, han adoptado medidas de manejo (agricultura migratoria, siembras anuales escalonadas, siembras en tierras vírgenes libre del patógeno), que les permite cultivar clones susceptibles; sin embargo, estas prácticas solo permiten sembrar por periodos cortos, debido a la dinámica poblacional del hongo y fallas en el manejo de la enfermedad (OIRSA, 2009).…”

Marchitez por Fusarium raza tropical 4: Estado actual y presencia en el continente americano

Introducción. La marchitez por Fusarium causada por el hongo Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, raza tropical 4, es considerada como la enfermedad más letal de las musáceas, debido que puede sobrevivir en el suelo por más de veinte años, sin control efectivo. Objetivo. Reseñar el estado actual y rasgos significativos de esta enfermedad, e indicar riesgo de impacto potencial en países de América Latina y el Caribe ante su reciente reporte en Colombia. Desarrollo. Posee varias razas: la raza 1 ataca clones de los subgrupos Silk (Musa AAB) y Gros Michel (Musa AAA) y fue responsable de la pérdida del mercado bananero mundial en 1958, dominado por este último, fue sustituido por clones Cavendish (Musa AAA). La raza 2, ataca clones del subgrupo Bluggoe (Musa ABB); y la raza 4, a través de sus variantes tropical y subtropical, a todos los clones Cavendish, y los susceptibles a la raza 1 y raza 2. No existen clones naturales que puedan sustituir los actuales. La raza tropical 4 (R4T), se ha diseminado en diferentes continentes, causa pérdidas multimillonarias, con extrema limitaciones para su erradicación, y recientemente es motivo de preocupación en países de América Latina y el Caribe (LAC), debido a su reciente brote en la Guajira colombiana. Conclusión. El deficiente control, y desconocimiento de rasgos del patógeno y la enfermedad, hacen necesario el desarrollo de investigaciones para su diagnóstico temprano, estrategias de manejo, medidas de educación y/o promoción sobre planes de contingencias. Recientemente fue detectada en Colombia, lo cual implica alto riesgo para el resto de los países de la región LAC (con énfasis en Ecuador, Panamá y Venezuela), debido al flujo constante de personas (incluye turistas) y transacciones comerciales, siendo necesaria de manera imperativa una revisión de los análisis de riesgo ante este nuevo escenario.

We assess the economic welfare implications of developing and introducing a gene‐edited banana with resistance against an emerging plant disease, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense Tropical race 4, on global banana production. Using a model incorporating disease dynamics and diffusion of a technological solution, we find that a 5‐year delay in adoption results in discounted losses of $94 billion. Consumers always lose from delay, while the impact on producers depends on timing and severity of the disease. The results suggest that regulatory delay significantly decreases return on investment from research, and acceptance of a technological solution may depend on the distribution of benefits and costs across stakeholders.
