This poster provides an overview of a survey conducted in four agro-ecological zones comprising 10 major banana-growing regions of Tanzania. The incidence of nematodes was assessed and the information was used to generate nematode distribution maps that show the geographical distribution of the key plant parasitic nematodes in major banana-growing areas of Tanzania.

Post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD) involves changes in gene expression and the synthesis of novel proteins. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the enzymes and compounds that modulate them play central roles in PPD. This work reports on the identification and characterisation of key genes involved in several functions relevant to PPD.
