Fusarium oxysporum complex
Description
The FOplex qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Fusarium oxysporum complex detection by using qPCR. Fusarium oxysporum complex is formed by ascomycete fungus belonging to the Nectriaceae family. The complex comprises 21 species of the genus Fusarium, such as Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium odoratissimum and Fusarium elaeidis among others. Although their predominant role in native soils, all over the world, may be harmless or even beneficial plant endophytes or soil saprophytes, many strains within the F. oxysporum complex are pathogenic to plants, especially in agricultural settings. It is a ubiquitous soil inhabitant that have the ability to exist as saprophyte and degrade lignin and complex carbohydrates associated with soil debris. F. oxysporum is not discriminating, they can cause disease in nearly every agriculturally important plant. While plant pathogenic F. oxysporum strains collectively have a broad host range, individual isolates usually cause disease only in a narrow range of plant species.
