Bananas started to be traded internationally by the end of the fourteenth century. The development of railroads and technological advances in refrigerated maritime transport subsequently enable bananas to become the most traded fruit in the world.
The bananas were given a resistance gene from either a wild relative or a nematode. In 2012, the researchers planted their transgenic bananas, along with unmodified controls, at a farm about 40 kilometers southeast of Darwin, Australia, where Panama disease arrived 20 years ago.
Banana is an economically important cash crop as it fetches large revenue share in the domestic and international market. However, most of the production is consumed by the domestic population as it serves as the staple food for them. In the article Genetically modified bananas: To mitigate food security concerns,[1] bananas are vulnerable to both biotic and abiotic stress factors which limits their production. Improvement of this crop to enhance the nutrient quality and better adapt to the changing environmental conditions and to produce new disease resistant varieties is essential.
Genetically modified organisms produced using scientific methods include recombinant DNA technology and reproductive cloning. The article Genetically Modified Organism[2] explains the importance in GMOs and the safety of them. Genetically modified organisms provide certain advantages to producers and consumers. Modified plants, for example, can at least initially help protect crops by providing resistance to a specific disease or insect, ensuring greater food production. GMOs are also important sources of medicine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emarieva (talk • contribs) 17:11, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In the introduction it says the majority of production takes place in the Americas, but this seems at odds with the information given in the production per country table below? 110.32.254.19 (talk) 15:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
