Small RNA profiling of Cavendish banana roots inoculated with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1 and tropical race 4
Abstract Fusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense (Foc), is considered as one of the most threatening diseases of banana.The Cavendish variety, resistant to Foc race 1 (R1), is susceptible to tropical race 4 (TR4), an aggressive race of the pathogen which is of increasing concern worldwide.Previous st
