Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. albedinis is a fungal plant pathogen that causes a disease known as Bayoud disease or fusarium wilt primarily on date palm.

Genome

Fernandez et al., 1998 identify the Fot1 (F.o. transposable elements) in F.o. albedinis.^[2]^[3]

Detection

F.o. albedinis may be diagnosed by molecular tests targeting sequences found by Fernandez et al., 1998.
