Title: Advances in research on chilling injury in banana
Abstract: The banana chilling injury is one of the most principal natural disasters in our country. In a majority of banana producing regions a great deal of loss in common years in banana were resulted in by the chilling injury .In order to solve the problem, the linchpin is to increase the cold hardiness of banana. This paper synthesizes a lot of literatures, reviews the recent research progress in chilling injury in banana(Musa spp.)in the last 20 years. It includes the symptoms of banana chilling injury, the weather index and the agro-climatic delimitation which was correlated with banana chilling injury,the occurring mechanism of banana chilling injury, the index of cold resistance,the cold protection cultivating techniques etc. In addition, the problems in banana chilling injury research are simply discussed and the prospect of the future research on banana chilling injury, especially the breeding method of cold resistance cultivar in banana are discussed.
