“…(Gómez-Merino et al, 2018;Malakar et al, 2022).We also showed for the rst time that TR4 can colonize three Heliconia species, causing a range of symptoms. It is important to underscore that, in contrast to the other Heliconia spp., TR4 did not cause any external symptoms in H. psittacorum and H. rostrata, similar to the non-symptomatic colonization of various weeds and cover crops(Hennessy et al., 2005; Martinez de la Parte et al, 2023; Pittaway et al, 1999; Su et al, 1986; Waite and Dunlap, 1953), which urges adaptation of contingency and containment strategies upon the detection of TR4.…”

Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by soilborne Fusarium spp., is a major global threat to the cultivation of bananas. In addition to persistent chlamydospores, weeds are a reservoir of the causal agents. However, it remains unclear whether other Zingiberales species, which are grown in the same geographic regions, also can serve as hosts for Fusarium spp. that cause FWB. Greenhouse assays were conducted to investigate whether Fusarium phialophorum (Race 1; pathogenic to Gros Michel banana) and Fusarium odoratissimum (TR4; pathogenic to Cavendish banana) can infect three Heliconia species, two ornamental banana species or Musa textilis (abacá). Heliconia latispatha, Musa balbisiana, and Musa coccinea displayed external symptoms after inoculation with TR4, while inoculation with Race 1 caused symptoms in H. latispatha, H. psittacorum, M. coccinea, and M. velutina. Isolates recovered from distinct organs of all studied plant species were characterized and re-isolated strains caused FWB symptoms in Gros Michel and Cavendish banana plants, and their rhizome discolored area scores were similar to the reference strains. The susceptibility of some ornamental species and the presence of Fusarium strains as asymptomatic endophytes in others, with remaining pathogenicity, call for a revision of the race nomenclature and the current containment protocols for FWB.

“…exhibited higher susceptibility to Race 1 than to TR4. This could be attributed to the prolonged co-evolution of Race 1 with a plethora of Heliconia species in the Latin American and Caribbean region, which is considered the center of origin for these plants (Gómez-Merino et al, 2018; Malakar et al, 2022). We also showed for the first time that TR4 can colonize three Heliconia species, causing a range of symptoms.…”

“…Traditionally, these plants are used in gardens and also as cut flower. The current scenario, post-pandemic, is associated with the increasing popularity of these segments among consumers in pan world (Paull, 1990;Paull and Chantrachit, 2001;Jaroenkit and Paull, 2003;Reis et al, 2020a andReis et al, 2020b;Malakar et al, 2022). The main pros of tropical flowers are the eco-friendliness characteristics as mentioned by Darras (2021) while the current global floral trends i.e 'Sustainable' and 'Wellbeing' (Kaishita, 2022) also endorse the significance of its cultivation.…”

“…Although no quantitative data related to the export, import, and detailed statistics on national and international trade of Heliconiahave been found through bibliographic searches, it is reported that Brazil (54.5%), Colombia (15.4%) and Mexico (10.9%) are at the forefront of its production (Linares-Gabriel et al, 2020). India has been identified as the emerging domestic producer of this Specialty Tropical Cut Flower (STCF) among the Southeast Asian countries (Malakar et al, 2022).The price of a cut stem is approximatelyUS$2-3 or US$3-5 for the erected (80-100 cm length) or the pendent helicônias (e.g.H. rostrata)respectively (e-Source: https:// www.cbi.eu/events/royal-floraholland-trade-fair-rfhtf-2016; no recent data are available).…”

Aesthetic attributes and easy-to-grow nature of tropical cut flowers (TCFs) have contributedto their potential for increased production. The dearth of information regarding agronomic practices and lack of planting materials are the key hindrances against their fast expansion. Unconventional high-temperature storage requirements and the anatomy of the peduncle contribute topoor vase life performance, while troublesome packaging and transport due to unusual size and structureprimarily cause post-harvest quality deterioration. Nonetheless, the exotic floral structuresconsequently increase market demand, particularly in temperate countries. This boosts studies aimed at overcoming post-harvest hindrances. While a few TCFs (Anthurium, Strelitzia, Alpinia, and a few orchids) are under the spotlight, many others remain behind the veil. Heliconia, an emerging specialty TCF (False Bird-of-Paradise, family Heliconiaceae), is one of them. The structural uniquenessand dazzling hues of Heliconia genotypes facilitate shifting its position from the back to the forefrontof the world floriculture trade. The unsatisfactory state-of-the-art of Heliconia research and the absence of any review exclusively on it are the key impetus for structuring this review. In addition to the aforementioned setbacks, impaired water uptake capacity after harvest, high chilling sensitivity, and the proneness of xylem ducts to microbial occlusion may be counted as a few additional factors that hinder its commercialization. This review demonstrates the state-of-the-art of post-harvest research while also conceptualizing the implementation of advanced biotechnological aid to alleviate the challenges, primarily focusing on Heliconia (the model crop here) along with some relevant literature on its other allied members. Standard harvesting indices, grading, and packaging are also part of the entire post-harvest operational chain, but since these phases are barely considered in Heliconia and the majority of tropical ornamentals except a few, a comprehensive account of these aspects has also been given. The hypothesized cues to nip chilling injury, resorting to different bio-chemical treatments, nano-based technology, and advanced packaging techniques, may help overcome preservation difficulties and propel its transition from niche to the commercial flower market. In a nutshell, readers will gain a comprehensive overview of how optimum post-harvest handling practices can rewardingly characterize this unique group of TCFs as the most remunerative component.
