Breeding for Resistance to Fusarium Wilt of Tomato: A Review

For over a century, breeders have worked to develop tomato (<i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>) cultivars with resistance to Fusarium wilt (<i>Fol</i>) caused by the soilborne fungus <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>lycopersici</i>. Host resistance is the...
