Phytoene Desaturase (PDS) Gene-Derived Markers Identify “A” and “B” Genomes in Banana (<i>Musa</i> spp.)

Phytoene desaturase (PDS) is a plant enzyme involved in carotenoid biosynthesis. The PDS gene has been used as a selective marker for genome editing in several plant species, including banana (<i>Musa</i> spp.). Its knockout promotes dwarfism and albinism, characteristics that are easily...
