Fusarium Wilt of Banana
TL;DR: 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.

Multiple evolutionary origins of the fungus causing Panama disease of banana: Concordant evidence from nuclear and mitochondrial gene genealogies
TL;DR: Testing whether lineages of the Panama disease pathogen have a monophyletic origin by comparing DNA sequences of nuclear and mitochondrial genes indicates Panama disease of banana is caused by fungi with independent evolutionary origins.

Fusarium oxysporum and its biocontrol
TL;DR: Results showed the great diversity affecting the soil-borne populations of F. oxysporum, with several modes of action contributing to their biocontrol capacity.

The taxonomy and origins of the cultivated bananas
N. W. Simmonds,K. Shepherd +1 more
TL;DR: A taxonomy scoring method is used to classify the edible bananas and to provide evidence on their evolution and the names may be rejected from the nomenclature of the wild bananas.
