The sorption of metal ions with low-cost adsorbents plays an important role in sustainable development. In the present study, the efficacy of sugarcane bagasse, rain tree fruits (samaneasaman), banana stem and their mixtures, used as bio-sorbents, in the removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution is evaluated. Batch studies are conducted, and residual ions were measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)-atomic spectrometer. Effect of pH, initial metal ion concentration, reaction time and adsorbent dosage are studied. The Pb(II) removal efficiency was observed to be 97.88%, 98.60% and 91.74% for rain tree fruits, banana stem and a mixture of adsorbents respectively. The highest Cu(II) ion removal was observed for sugarcane bagasse sorbent with an efficiency of 82.10% with a pH of 4.5 and a reaction time of 90 min. Finally, desorption studies were carried out to study the leaching potential of adsorbent, and it was found that the adsorbent is stable in water than the other leaching agents such as HCl, ammonium acetate, Sodium EDTA. Hence, these adsorbents can be effectively used for the removal of these heavy metals.

This study describes an efficient protocol for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of two subgroups of genotype AAA bananas (Musa acuminata cv. Pei Chiao and Musa acuminata cv. Gros Michel). Instead of using suspension cells, cauliflower-like bud clumps, also known as multiple bud clumps (MBC), were induced from sucker buds on MS medium containing $N^6$-Benzylaminopurine (BA), Thidiazuron (TDZ), and Paclobutrazol (PP333). Bud slices were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens C58C1 or EHA105 that carry a plasmid containing Arabidopsis root-type ferredoxin gene (Atfd3) and a plant ferredoxin-like protein (pflp) gene, respectively. These two strains showed differences in transformation efficiency. The EHA105 strain was more sensitive in Pei Chiao, 51.3% bud slices were pflp-transformed, and 12.6% slices were Atfd3-transformed. Gros Michel was susceptible to C58C1 and the transformation efficiency is 4.4% for pflp and 13.1% for Atfd3. Additionally, gene integration of the putative pflp was confirmed by Southern blot. Resulting from the pathogen inoculation assay, we found that the pflp transgenic banana exhibited resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4. This protocol is highly advantageous to banana cultivars that have difficulties in setting up suspension cultures for the purpose of quality improvement through genetic transformation. In addition, this protocol would save at least 6 months in obtaining explants for transformation and reduce labor for weekly subculture in embryogenic cell suspension culture systems.

바나나 과실을 시중에서 구입하여 미숙과실과 황숙과실로 구별하고 이것들을 과육부분과 과피부분으로 나누어서 동결건조 및 열풍건조시켜 실험 시료로서 사용하였다. 탄닌 함량을 분석한 결과 황숙과실 보다도 미숙과실에서 높았으며, 과육보다는 과피에서 열풍건조 보다는 동결건조시킨 시료에서 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 탄닌의 분획은 Sephadex LH-20칼럼을 사용하여 분획하였다. 바나나 과실에 함유하고 있는 탄닌은 prodelphinidin, procyanidin을 구성 단위로 하는 proanthocyanidin류의 축합성 탄닌으로 이러한 탄닌은 소화효소인 trypsin(EC 3. 1. 1. 3), ${\alpha}-amylase$(EC 3. 4. 21. 4), lipase(EC 3. 2. 1. 1)에 대하여 in vitro에 있어서 저해작용을 가지고 있는 것이 확인되었으며 또한 탄닌은 중합도가 높을수록 저해율이 높다는 것이 확인되었다.

Antifungal activities of crude extractum of Nanshancha Seed Cake (NSC), to inactivate postharvest pathogens were investigated. Highest inhibitory rate was found against C. musae, C. gloeosporioides and C. papaya P.Henn, which was much stronger than that by tea saponin. Compared to tea saponin, effects of NSC extractum was relatively weak and similar on C. gloeosporioides Penzig and P. italicum. In an in vivo study, best controlling effects by NSC extractum was found with banana anthracnose disease development, which showed no inhibitory effects by tea saponin. NSC extractum controlled in vitro C. musae growth through directly inhibiting germination rate and germ tube elongation, and causing distortation, rupture and indentation of C. musae mycelium. In banana fruit subject to C. musae inoculation, higher PAL, POD, GLU and CHT activity was observed in banana fruit treated with crude NSC extractum than that of water control fruits. Current study proved the best controlling effects of crude NSC extractum in C. musae in vitro and in vivo development, which through direct inhibition of C. musae growth and increasing defense system of the banana fruit.

바나나는 유엔식량농업기구가 지정한 세계에서 여덟 번째로 중요한 작물이며, 주요 식량인 밀, 쌀, 옥수수 다음으로 지구상에서 생산량이 네 번째로 많다. 맛뿐만 아니라 영양분도 풍부하며 미래의 주요 식량자원으로도 주목받는 과일이다. 하지만 바나나는 인류의 이기심에서 비롯된 비정상적인 재배방법 때문에 오늘날 멸종위기에 처해 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 교과과정을 통해 농업혁명에 대한 배경 지식이 있는 중 고등학생들에게 바나나 멸종에 관한 정보를 쉽고 흥미롭게 전달할 수 있는 디지털 정보 콘텐츠를 개발하는 것이다. 바나나가 멸종위기에 처하게 된 원인과 과정을 스토리텔링 기법을 활용하여 선형적 구조로 보여줌으로써 사용자들이 흥미를 갖도록 하였다. 또한 여러 단계로 구성된 스토리와 각각의 스토리를 뒷받침하는 정보 그래픽의 관계를 상하로 움직이는 병렬구조를 활용하여 시각화시킴으로써 본 콘텐츠와 사용자 사이의 자연스러운 상호작용이 일어나도록 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 멸종위기 종에 대한 인류의 관심이 증대되기를 기대한다.

1985년에서 1986년 지역적으로 식물병해 조사를 실시하던 중 제주도의 바나나 재배온실에서 바나나도열병이 심하게 발생하고 있음을 발견하였다. 어떤 온실에서는 이 병의 발생이 매우 심하여 발병율이 $100\%$에 달하였다. 이 병을 일으킨 균을 균학적인 특성과 병원성에 의해 Pyricularia angulata Hashioka로 동정하였다. 바나나의 잎에 형성된 바나나도열병의 병징은 원형 내지 타원형으로 직경 1-10mm 크기의 암갈색 반점이며 반점주위는 황색을 띄었다. 열매에 형성된 병징은 원형 내지 타원형으로 적갈색 혹은 암갈색의 움푹 들어간 반점이며, 그 크기는 직경이 20mm에 달했다. 병징은 바나나의 잎과 열매뿐만 아니라 엽병, 엽초, 열매의 다발줄기, 열매의 수관에서도 발생하였다. 병원균의 분생포자는 무색, 격막은 2개, 하나의 작은 hium을 가진 달걀모양 내지 서양배모양이고, 분생자경의 작은 돌기 끝에서 단생하며, 크기는 $16.0-34.0\times7.0-12.0{\mu}m$(평균 $22.5\times9.0{\mu}m$)였다. 분생자경은 대부분 격막이 2개, 간혹 둘 혹은 셋으로 분지하고, 정단부위에는 작은 돌기가 있으며, 크기는 $7.5-100.0\times3.0-5.0{\mu}m$(평균 $90.0\times4.0{\mu}m$)였다. PDA에서 이 균의 균사 생육적온 범위는 $26-28^{\circ}C$였다. 병원성검정 결과, P. angulata는 바나나에만 병원성이 있었다. 반면에 Digitaria sanguinalis(L.) Scopo.에서 분리한 Pyricularia grisea(Cke.) Sacc.는 바나나에 병원성이 없었다. 접종시험 결과, 바나나의 여러 부위 중에서 잎이 P. angulata에 가장 감수성이었다. 또한 생육 30일된 열매는 생육 60일된 열매보다 더 감수성이었으며, 열매의 다발줄기는 열매보다 더 수감성이었다.

A three variables by three level factorial design and response surface methodology were used to determine optimum conditions for osmotic dehydration of banana. The moisture loss, solid gain, weight loss and reduction of moisture content after osmotic dehydration were increased as temperature, sugar concentration and immersion time increased. The effect of concentration was more significant than those of temperature and time on mass transfer. Color difference and titratable acidity were decreased by higher concentration. Sweetness was increased by increasing sugar concentration, temperature, immersion time during osmotic dehydration. The regression models showed a significant lack of fit (p>0.5) and were highly significant with satisfying values of R2. To optimize osmotic dehydration, based on surface response and contour plots, superimposing the individual contour plots for the response variables. the optimum conditions for this process wire 26$^{\circ}C$, 44 $^{\circ}$brix and 2 hrs for moisture content, sweetness and color difference are less than 72%, 24 obrix and 10 degree.

Seventy-three species and five varieties belonging to 36 genera were collected from leaf surfaces of banana plants on glucose and cellulose-Czapek's agar at $28^{\circ}C$. The results obtained from leaf surfaces(phyllosphere and phylloplane) were basically similar on the two types of media and the most common fungi were Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Cochliobolus, Curvularia, Gibberella, Memnoniella, Mycosphaerella, Setosphaeria and Stachybotrys. The monthly counts of these fungi were irregularly fluctuated giving maxima at various months. Chaetomium globosum was in the top of fungi in producing both exo- and endo-$\beta$-l,4-glucanases among the 34 tested isolates obtained from leaves(phylloplane) on cellulose-Czapek's agar. Maximum production of these enzymes by C. globosum was 6 and 8 days after incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ with culture medium containing wheat bran as a carbon source and peptone as a nitrogen source and initially adjusted to pH 6.

Reverse-Phase High-performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) based technique is one of the most sensitive techniques to detect the antibiotics present in honey. In the southern part of Tamilnadu, India, majority of the farmlands are occupied by plantations such as coconut, banana and rubber. A variety of antimicrobial compounds and antibiotics, which have been reported in pollen, nectar and other floral parts of the plant, gets accumulated in honey through honeybees (Apis mellifera). We have collected the nectar samples from banana (Musa paridasiaca) and rubber (Ficus elastica) flowers and the honey from honey hives of banana and rubber cultivated areas. The extracted nectar and honey samples are subjected to RP-HPLC analysis with authentic antibiotic standards. Nectar and honey samples showed 4-17, 11-29 ${\mu}g/kg$ of streptomycin, 2-29, 3-44 ${\mu}g/kg$ of ampicillin and 17-34, 26-48 ${\mu}g/kg$ of kanamycin respectively.
