🌸 i’ve been trying to work on eating enough protein (0.6-1g/kg bodyweight) and drinking lots of water, otherwise i have a bad habit of just subsisting on caffeine and not eating or drinking enough 😬

🌸 with improved nutrition i’ve noticed a big difference at the gym! lifts that were difficult a month ago are easy now & i’m feeling stronger!

🌸 i made the tough decision not to sign up for a local sports team even though i really wanted to play; practices are 2x per week & i wasn’t sure if I could commit fully, and i wanted to prioritize spending quality time with my bf since our jobs are really busy & we don’t always get to spend time together.

Bananas Are At Risk of Extinction, But Scientists Have a Plan

A Fungus That Can Infect Over 100 Different Plants is Devastating the Popular Fruit.

— By Laura Baisas | August 16, 2024

The bright bananas dotting your fruit bowl are in some serious trouble. A popular type of banana is facing extinction from a fungal pathogen. The disease Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB) blocks the flow of nutrients to the fruit and makes it wilt. During the 1950s, the pathogen wiped out commercial banana crops and made one species–Gros Michel bananas–functionally extinct.

But not all is lost for this colorful fruit. New research from an international team of scientists has pinpointed the molecular mechanisms behind the microbe that destroys bananas and it opens the door to new treatments and strategies against the pathogen. The findings are detailed in a study published August 16 in the journal Nature Microbiology.

What Is Hurting Bananas?

The crop failures are due to a fungal pathogen with a very long name–Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. Cubense (Foc) tropical race 4 (TR4). Abbreviated as Foc TR4, this fungus decimated several banana crops in the 1950s and wiped out one entire species, but bananas aren’t the only plants at risk.

“As a species complex, Fusarium oxysporum can infect over 100 different plant hosts,” study co-author and University of Massachusetts Amherst molecular biologist Li-Jun Ma tells Popular Science.”

Part of this virulence comes down to its genome and the ways it can change. According to Ma, each Fusarium oxysporum genome can be divided into two parts–a core genome and an accessory genome. The core genome does all of the main housekeeping functions of keeping the genome going. An accessory genome is then free to vary from strain to strain and can handle specialized functions–including the ability to infect a specific plant.

Understanding how the pathogen and its genome work on a molecular level is key for developing ways to combat it and prevent more banana species from going extinct.

Not Your Grandparents’ Bananas–Or Fungus

Over 50 years ago, the first victims of this fungal war were the Gros Michel bananas. Largely in response to banana wilt, the Cavendish variety was bred to be a disease-resistant replacement and is the most popular type of commercially available banana today. This worked for a while, but by the 1990s, there was another outbreak of banana wilt that spread from Southeast Asia to Central America.

Ma and her team have spent the last decade studying how TR4’s genome works to combat the new outbreak of banana wilt in the Cavendish banana. Surprisingly, they found that it is actually not derived from the same pathogen that wiped out crops in the ‘50s.

“We now know that the Cavendish banana-destroying pathogen TR4 did not evolve from the race that decimated the Gros Michel bananas,” Ma said in a press release accompanying the study. “TR4’s genome contains some accessory genes that are linked to the production of nitric oxide, which seems to be the key factor in TR4’s virulence.”

Harmful Gasses

In this new study, Ma and co-authors from institutions in the United States, China, and South Africa sequenced and compared 36 different Foc strains from all over the world. These strains include the ones that attack Gros Michel bananas. The sequences revealed that the Foc TR4 that is responsible for the current outbreak of banana wilt. It also uses some accessory genes for two purposes when invading a host. These genes both produce and detoxify fungal nitric oxide.

“As expected, we found accessory sequences in the TR4 genome that contribute to its virulence, including the production of the harmful gas, nitric oxide, that facilitates the host invasion,” says Ma.

The team still doesn’t know how this gas specifically contributes to disease infestation in Cavendish banana. However, they were able to determine that the virulence of Foc TR4 was greatly reduced if the two genes that control nitric oxide production were eliminated.

“Identifying these accessory genetic sequences opens up many strategic avenues to mitigate, or even control, the spread of Foc TR4,” Yong Zhang, study co-author and a postdoctoral researcher at UMASS Amherst, said in a statement.

‘Always Remember To Say Thank You To a Farmer’

In future research, the team would like to better understand how the fungus can produce such a harmful gas without hurting itself. They would like to test various ways to interrupt the production of nitric oxide and explore genes that can take the gas away before it damages plant cells.

Importantly, work like this raises awareness about the dangers of monocropping in agriculture and relying on a single species.

“Growing a single cultivar of any crop, also called monoculture agricultural production, provides breeding ground for the development of pathogens,” says Ma. “To help increase the demand for diverse bananas in the market, we can intentionally pick up different varieties of bananas from the shelf. We can support local producers by shopping locally.”

It is also a lesson in the importance of valuing the time and effort of those who produce all of the food we put on our tables.

“We, consumers, should appreciate that bananas or other fruits/vegetables do not grow from grocery stores,” says Ma. “There are tremendous efforts to bring food to our tables and feed our bodies. Always remember to say thank you to a farmer when you see one with dirt and soil all over his/her body.”

chocolate chip banana bread

Taste This Sweet Chocolate Chip Banana Bread and Treat Your Senses

The smell of freshly baked banana bread floating through the home is very warm. Add in the creamy, melty richness of chocolate chips, and you have an irresistible treat. For good reason, chocolate chip banana bread is a traditional favorite; it’s rich, moist, and ideal for any time of day. Enjoy this delicious baked item warm straight out of the oven for breakfast or as a rich dessert; either way, it will satisfy your needs and leave you wanting more. Explore the world of chocolate chip banana bread and learn why it is so popular.

The Ideal Combination of Flavors

Banana bread is a delicious treat in and of itself because to its moist crumb and sweet banana flavor. However, the addition of chocolate chips takes the mixture to a whole new wonderful level. A symphony of flavors is produced when ripe bananas and chocolate are combined; the natural sweetness of the bananas perfectly balances the richness of the chocolate.

Ingredients:

3 ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

3/4 cup sugar

1 large egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter.

Add the baking soda, salt, sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until well combined.

Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

In conclusion, chocolate chip banana bread represents coziness, nostalgia, and homemade goodness in addition to being a delicious treat. This well-loved recipe will thrill your taste senses and make you grin with every bite, regardless of your level of baking experience. Thus, why not bake a loaf right now and discover the magic for yourself? Your taste buds will always be appreciative, and your friends and family will appreciate you. Cheers to your baking!
