Bioinformatics analysis to assess potential risks of allergenicity and toxicity of HRAP and PFLP proteins in genetically modified bananas resistant to Xanthomonas wilt disease por Jin, Y., Goodman, R.E., Tetteh, A.O., Lu, M., Tripathi, L.

“…Several of these GM banana events showed 100% resistance to BXW disease under field conditions in Uganda. The current study evaluated the potential allergenicity and toxicity of the expressed proteins HRAP and PFLP based on evaluation of published information on the history of safe use of the natural source of the proteins as well as established bioinformatics sequence comparison methods to known allergens (www.AllergenOnline.org and NCBI Protein) and toxins (NCBI Protein). …”

Genetic homogeneity among Ugandan isolates of Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum revealed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis por Odipio, J., Tusiime, Geoffrey, Tripathi, L., Aritua, Valentine

“…Thus, our data indicates that the population of Xcm in Uganda is clonal, that is, one uniform population being spread fast and efficiently, suggesting that there is a low likelihood of the current population to rapidly evolve, in the near future, into more virulent strains to overcome any resistance deployed.…”
