TLDR
An overview of the Panama disease and its causal agent, Fusarium oxysporum f. cubense, is presented in this paper, with an emphasis on tropical race 4 (TR4), a 'Cavendish'-killing variant of the pathogen that has spread dramatically in the Eastern Hemisphere.Abstract:
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the world's most important fruits. In 2011, 145 million metric tons, worth an estimated $44 billion, were produced in over 130 countries. Fusarium wilt (also known as Panama disease) is one of the most destructive diseases of this crop. It devastated the 'Gros Michel'-based export trades before the mid-1900s, and threatens the Cavendish cultivars that were used to replace it; in total, the latter cultivars are now responsible for approximately 45% of all production. An overview of the disease and its causal agent, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, is presented below. Despite a substantial positive literature on biological, chemical, or cultural measures, management is largely restricted to excluding F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense from noninfested areas and using resistant cultivars where the pathogen has established. Resistance to Fusarium wilt is poor in several breeding targets, including important dessert and cooking cultivars. Better resistance to this and other diseases is needed. The history and impact of Fusarium wilt is summarized with an emphasis on tropical race 4 (TR4), a 'Cavendish'-killing variant of the pathogen that has spread dramatically in the Eastern Hemisphere.read more

Inducing the rhizosphere microbiome by biofertilizer application to suppress banana Fusarium wilt disease
TL;DR: Overall, decreased abundances of F. oxysporum and a lack of variability in the abundance of the biocontrol agent NJN-6 over three years contributed to disease suppression, in combination with alterations in fungal and bacterial composition and abundance, pointing to the sustainability of BIO as an amendment for disease suppression.

Fusarium oxysporum and the Fusarium Wilt Syndrome
TL;DR: The Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) comprises a multitude of strains that cause vascular wilt diseases of economically important crops throughout the world and although sexual reproduction is unknown in the FOSC, horizontal gene transfer may contribute to the observed diversity in pathogenic strains.

TL;DR: Comparison of genomes of three phenotypically diverse Fusarium species revealed lineage-specific genomic regions in F. oxysporum that include four entire chromosomes and account for more than one-quarter of the genome, putting the evolution of fungal pathogenicity into a new perspective.

Pathogen profile update: Fusarium oxysporum
TL;DR: More than 120 different formae speciales have been identified based on specificity to host species belonging to a wide range of plant families as mentioned in this paper, which can cause severe losses in many vegetables and flowers, field crops, such as cotton, and plantation crops such as banana, date palm and oil palm.

THE EVOLUTION OF ASEXUAL FUNGI: Reproduction, Speciation and Classification
TL;DR: These studies show that asexual or sexual reproductive morphology does not necessarily correlate with clonal or recombining reproductive behavior, and that fungi with all types of reproductive morphologies and behaviors can be accommodated by a phylogenetic species concept.
