Phylogenetic analysis of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense associated with fusarium wilt of bananas from Peninsular Malaysia

Fusarium wilt of bananas caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) has been known to hamper banana production. In Malaysia, most of the edible banana cultivars are susceptible to the fungal strain Foc tropical race 4 (Foc TR4). To date, molecular characterisation of Foc TR4 in this country r...

PCR amplification using VCG specific primers have further categorised 16 Foc isolates as VCG01213 and a single isolate as VCG01213/16.
