In: Egyptian Journal of Genetics and Cytology 2011.v.40(1)Summary: Banana and plantations (Musa sp.) are the most fourth most important global food crop after rice, wheat and maize (Piertersen and Thomas, 2001). Banana plantations are subjected to various natural climates but diseases; in particular, viral diseases constitute a major setback to this crop worldwide. Among viral infections, Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) is the most serious virus affecting banana in Egypt as well as the world (Dale, 1987; Othman et al., 1996; Harish et al., 2008) and is responsible for the massive reduction in banana crop yield.
