Molecular markers and their application in Fusarium wilt studies in Musa spp.

Bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) are an important socio-economic fruit crop grown worldwide. Their production across the regions where they are grown is largely hampered by pests and diseases. Fusarium wilt is a disastrous diseases of bananas caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. c...
