Bananas are one of Australia's most important fruit crops. However, the industry is continually threatened by numerous diseases including yellow and black Sigatoka, Fusarium wilt and bunchy top. Control of these diseases currently requires either extensive pesticide treatments or complex agronomic procedures, of which most are ineffective, expensive or environmentally damaging. The aim of this project is to utilise a novel strategy to generate transgenic bananas with resistance to these diseases. The benefit will be both economic and environmental as implementation should significantly reduce or eliminate pesticide use. Importantly, this strategy can potentially be extrapolated to many other crops.

香蕉是澳大利亚最重要的水果作物之一。然而，该行业不断受到许多疾病的威胁，包括黄色和黑色Sigatoka，枯萎病和束顶病。控制这些疾病目前需要广泛的农药处理或复杂的农艺程序，其中大多数是无效的，昂贵的或对环境有害的。该项目的目的是利用一种新的策略来产生抗这些疾病的转基因香蕉。这将带来经济和环境两方面的好处，因为实施将大大减少或消除农药的使用。重要的是，这一策略可以推广到许多其他作物。
