PR proteins and Phytoalexins elicited in Banana by Fusarium oxysporum

The book depicts the effect of biopesticides on Panama disease in Banana. Chemical fungicides have assisted in controlling the disease, maintaining availability of low cost food throughout the year. However, there are some serious health hazards associated with the use of chemicals, which include on-farm ingestion by co-worker, discharge of toxic chemicals into air and water and consumption of food containing chemical residues. Therefore an alternative ecofrendily approach became an emergent need. On account of elicitation, in vitro plants become resistant to the pathogens. So the better quality plants are produced and further observing these plants we can also study the long term effects like number and quality of fruit produced in such elicitor treated plants.
