The most popular fruit in the world - bananas - may be about to be wiped out by an invisible killer bug.
一种无形的致死性病菌或许马上就要把香蕉——这种世界上最受欢迎的水果——“赶尽杀绝”了。
Panama Disease – which has already destroyed the most popular variety of banana – is back and its spreading like wildfire across global crops.
巴拿马病(香蕉黄叶病)已经让人们最喜爱的香蕉品种消失不见了,现在又卷土重来,以野火般的势头席卷全球的香蕉作物。
The problem is, bananas are seedless and are essentially all cloned from exactly the same plant – making them extremely vulnerable to disease.
问题的症结在于香蕉没有果籽,基本上都是从同一植株克隆而来,因此对疾病的抵抗力极低。
A new study has warned the much-loved yellow fruit will be wiped out if we don't take action NOW.
一项最新的研究警告称,如果人类不“立刻”采取行动,这种广受欢迎的黄色水果将会永远消失。
The Gros Michel banana was once the most popular variety in the world – until it was completely killed off by Panama Disease in the 1950s.
“大麦克香蕉”曾经是世界上最受欢迎的香蕉品种,但于上世纪50年代被巴拿马病灭绝了。
The Cavendish banana – from the UK – stepped in to replace the Gros Michel and now makes up 95% of all banana exports in the world.
