Abstract
The effects of abiotic stress on banana production become increasingly important, but the molecular processes behind tolerance still remain largely unknown. As the genome sequence is now publically available and cutting-edge high-throughput -omics technologies emerge, there lay multiple opportunities in the offing to close the knowledge gap. This chapter gives an overview of the molecular work that has already been performed on abiotic stress tolerance in banana. This research is mostly oriented towards cold and drought, while that on nutrient deficiencies is still lagging behind. Promising results as well as important gaps are formulated, and recommendations for future abiotic stress tolerance research are proposed. We show how new -omics technologies and the integration thereof enable a holistic view on abiotic stress tolerance in banana and can enhance our knowledge. Additionally, special emphasis is placed on the ultimate importance of phenotyping and a good definition of tolerance in the context of decent molecular research in this area.
