Genetics and Genomics of Fusarium Wilt of Chilies: A Review
Hot pepper (<i>Capsicum annum</i> L.) is a major spice crop and is used worldwide for its nutritional value. In the field, its plant is susceptible to various fungal diseases, including fusarium wilt, caused by soil-borne fungus <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>capsi...

In the field, its plant is susceptible to various fungal diseases, including fusarium wilt, caused by soil-borne fungus <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>capsici</i>, which can survive in the soil for several years.
