Fusarium infection of bananas is a global problem that threatens the production of bananas. This study looks at the effects of the infection upon the reactive oxygen species (ROS) system, as well as the induced antioxidant properties in the roots, stems, leaves and fruits. Results show that there is a greater amount of damage in infected tissue samples as opposed to non‐infected. The damage was observed to be higher in the root samples. ROS assays were divided into two classes: ROS assays and ROS‐scavenging assays. Of the ROS assays, lipoxygenase was observed to be higher in the infected samples, while peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were significantly higher in infected stem, leaf and fruit samples. Among root samples, there was no significant difference in POD activity and PPO was lower in infected samples. Induction of ROS is important for the hypersensitive response (HR) to function properly. The ROS‐scavenging enzymes, namely ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, exhibited higher levels in the infected tissue. This is most likely to counter the build‐up of the ROS enzymes and to prevent further cell death. The increase in ROS‐scavenging assays also correlates with higher antioxidant properties as antioxidants play a critical role in regulating the HR free radicals.

“…The eff ect of precipitation and slope on the occurrence of Fusarium wilt of banana can be attributed to the response of Foc and banana plant to water availability or soil moisture. Low rainfall during the driest and wettest quarter can subject the banana plant to low moisture or water defi cit stress condition making it highly susceptible to severe infection by the pathogen (Lee et al, 2004;Ghaemi et al, 2011;Pattison et al, 2014). Also, such conditions promote increased root colonization of tomato plants by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.…”

“…In the Philippines, banana is the top fruit crop grown and a consistent dollar earner for the country (Solpot et al, 2016). In 2015, around 0.44 million hectares were planted with banana resulting in more than 9 million metric tons of produce with an estimated value sis and death (Li et al, 2011;Pattison et al, 2014;Ploetz, 2015a). In Australia alone, Cook et al (2015) estimated an annual loss of more than 138 million USD to the banana industry due to Fusarium wilt.…”

“…Despite numerous studies and reviews on the epidemiology and management of Fusarium wilt of banana, there is limited literature on the environmental factors that aff ect its incidence and severity rates (Ploetz, 2006(Ploetz, , 2015a(Ploetz, , 2015bPattison et al, 2014;Ghag et al, 2015). For example, Pattison et al (2014) found that Fusarium wilt expression is a function of water stress (defi cit and excess) and heat unit requirement of banana. Deltour et al (2017) showed that the higher the clay content, pH, and electric conductivity in soil, the lesser severity of Fusarium wilt.…”

Summary This study used Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) to explore potential environmental determinants of Fusarium wilt occurrence on banana in south-central part of the Philippines. Different variables representing topographic, bioclimatic, and edaphic features of an area were tested against data of Fusarium wilt occurrence. Based on the results, precipitation during the driest month, precipitation during the wettest month, precipitation of the warmest quarter, slope, and elevation were the most important variables for predicting the probability of Fusarium wilt occurrence on banana. Results also suggest that among the variables tested, precipitation had the major contribution to the occurrence of Fusarium wilt.
