fusarium wilt of melon is a destructive fungal disease throughout the world. in this study, the evolutionary relationships among isolates of different formae speciales of fusarium oxysporum was examined, with a special emphasis on the forma specialis melonis. bootstrapped maximum likelihood analysis of the elongation factor-1α (ef-1α) sequence was conducted on 16 iranian and 11 foreign isolates...

An Israeli breeding line, BIZ, resistant to all four races of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melonis (FOM), has been characterized regarding its response to FOM race 1.2. The infection process of a FOM 1.2 strain that expresses the GFP reporter protein was monitored, suggesting the timing and sites in which fungal progression differs between a resistant and a susceptible genotype. A mapping populatio...
