“…The fungal species complex of Fusarium oxysporum (FOSC) has been used as a model to study cross-kingdom fungal pathogenesis. Members within FOSC can cause devastating fusarium wilt diseases among economically important crops [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ] and is listed among the top five most important plant pathogens [ 8 ]. With strong host specificity, plant pathogenic F. oxysporum strains are further grouped as formae speciales [ 13 ].…”
