Author Summary Fusarium oxysporum is a fungal pathogen that represents a species complex, with members that infect numerous crops. Several hundred plant species are susceptible, including economically important food crops such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, legumes, melons, and bananas (in which the infection is known as Panama disease). Infected plants in the field may be stunted, and as they begin to heavily bear fruit, their lower leaves turn yellow and wilt. It is of worldwide
