Tasty bananas are hard t turn dwn. They taste gd and yu dn't have t wash them befre eating them.Hwever, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.
One reasn fr this is climate(气候) change. Scientists at the University f Exeter cllected data frm 27cuntries that prduce 86 percent f the wrld's bananas. They fund that climate change has imprved grwing cnditins in 71 f these cuntries. Fr the past 60 years, the annual yields(年均产量) have been increasing by1.37 tnnes(公吨) f bananas per hectare. In this way, if temperatures rises all the time, this advantage will disappear. Ten f the cuntries, including India, the wrld's biggest prducer f bananas, will prduce fewer bananas. B y 2 050, the fruit may die ut.
Shuldn't banana plants grw mre easily if it's htter utside? In fact, the perfect temperature fr grwing banana plants is between 24°C and 32°C. If temperatures get t high, they will stp grwing.
Diseases are anther danger t banana plants. Unlike ther crps, the banana plants we grw cme frm sht cuttings(茎段) rather t hin seeds(种子). This shws that all banana plants have the same gentype(基因型).In ther wrds, if a disease is able t kill ne plant, it culd kill them all.
Fr example, ne serius disease is called Panama. Caused by fungi(真菌) in the sil, it spreads easily. It has spread acrss Suth Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If ne banana plantatin(种植园) suffers frm the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able t grw banana plants again. Scientists have t find a cure fr this disease.
