TRANSCRIPTOME PROFILING OF RESISTANT AND SUSCEPTIBLE CAVENDISH BANANA ROOTS FOLLOWING INOCULATION WITH FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM F. SP. CUBENSE TROPICAL RACE 4

Transcriptome profiling of resistant and susceptible Cavendish banana roots following inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4

Abstract Background Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), is considered the most lethal disease of Cavendish bananas in the world.The disease can be managed in the field by planting resistant Cavendish plants generated by somaclonal variation.However, little information is available
