    © Copyright 2015 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists. A new species of banana (Musaceae), Musa nanensis Swangpol & Traiperm, from Nan, Thailand, is described and illustrated. Based on vegetative features, M. nanensis could be superficially... categorized as related to M. laterita; however, it possesses several unique floral characters from the rest of the genus Musa, especially its six tepals and anthers, each fused at the base. A key to banana species of northern Thailand, based on morphology

    © 2016, Springer-Verlag Wien. Bananas in Thailand have been surveyed by our team to be at least 140 cultivars in the plantations, 10 wild species and, 4 introduced species. To characterize the genetic relationship of species and cultivars, a set... identity and relationship of cultivated bananas, which would be useful for genetic conservation and ongoing breeding programs in Thailand and other areas.

    Background: Banana allergy is on the rise in tropical regions. Advances in genomics and candidate gene identification have increased interest in genetic factors in food allergies. However, the genetic basis of IgE-mediated banana allergy....849), C*04:03 (ER 1.332), and DQB1*06:09 (ER 6.602) alleles. Conclusions: This study provides initial genetic insights into banana allergy, suggesting potential links with specific HLA alleles. Despite 12 initially identifying alleles, none were

    to the color variations that occur in the banana family, Musaceae. Anthocyanin biosynthesis of several pigments and genes has already been studied. However, the underlining genetic background which causes color differences has not been explained. In our study..., to investigate the molecular genetic background of the color variations in bracts of the bananas, anthocyanin biosynthetic pathways in uncommon yellow and pale purple bract taxa were compared to that of other species with orange and red-purple bracts.

    The potential of Mangifera indica Linn. and Musa acuminata extracts to attenuate 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE2)-induced DNA oxidative damage in MCF-10A cells by upregulating detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes
    (2021-06-01) Saranya Sedtananun; Kornkanok Promthep; King Mongkuts University of Technology; Institute of Molecular Biosciences, Mahidol University
    Nowadays, there have been attempts to use phytochemicals in fruits to reduce the risk of suffering a given sickness. In this work, we studied the potential effects of mango (cultivar “Nam Dok Mai”) and banana (cultivar “Khai”) to attenuate DNA... oxidative damage in MCF-10A cells induced by 4-hydroxyestradiol (4-OHE2). The effects of mango extract (MNE) and banana extract (BKE) were comparable with three carotenoid compounds, β-carotene, lycopene, and lutein. The oxidative-induced DNA damage

    Postprandial glucose and insulin responses to various tropical fruits of equivalent carbohydrate content in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
    (1991-01-01) Chulaporn Roongpisuthipong; Sermsri Banphotkasem; Surat Komindr; Vichai Tanphaichitr; Mahidol University; Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University
    The plasma glucose and insulin responses were determined in 10 NIDDM female patients following the ingestion of tropical fruit containing 25 g of carbohydrate. The five tropical fruits were pineapple, mango, banana, durian and rambutan. Blood... was drawn at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min, respectively. The results showed that the glucose-response curves to mango and banana were significantly less than those to rambutan, durian and pineapple (P < 0.05). Only the glucose area after mango ingestion
