    Y'see, Gros Michel is some european gay dude who likes to stick bananas up his butt, thereby wasting perfectly good bananas.

    Panama Disease is the name of a heavy metal band whose whole schtick is hating on bananas. Like, they really hate bananas. They have banana burnings.

    Bananas (or at least, commercially viable, cheap, mass-producable and able to be bought in store bananas) have been wiped out once already.

    In the 1930's, the most popular banana type was the Gros Michel.

    By the 1960's it had been replaced by the Cavendish - what you think of as a 'banana'.

    The reason for this is not taste - the Gros Michel is bigger, sweeter, quicker to grow and generally considered a 'better' Banana. The Gros Michel was wiped out by the Panama Disease. The world production of bananas basically ground to a halt in the space a of a few years. Only at the last minute did they find the Cavendish to replace the Gros Michel.

    Things have continued on fine for the past 50-odd years, but a new strain of Panama disease has been found - one which atacks the Cavendish types. At the moment it's limited to asia and Northern Australia, but if it ever reaches Latin America, it could bring and end to the availablity of the banana in the stores as you think of it now.

    No I just don't think I'd very much enjoy it.

    If I thought I would I might give it a shot.

    I'm sure they still have those old Gros Michel banana seeds in that seed repository in Iceland or Norway or whatever

    surely the old Panama Disease can't still be rampaging around the world

    why not try and bring them back, maybe cultivate them to have greater resilience this time

    we can do this people

    we have the technology

    Uh... bananas are sterile. There are no seeds. It is impossible to cultivate 'resistance'. Every banana of the same type you eat is a genetic clone of every other banana of that type.

    They are trying to come up with a 'new' banana to replace the Cavendish and remain resistant to Panama disease, mostly through genetic manipulation, I think. But I have no idea how that's going, and consumers tend to be resistant to change.

    Also, Gros Michel still exist in a few places (mostly islands in the Carribean). They're just not possible to be grown in sufficient numbers to sate the world markets.
