Whole genome analysis of the koa wilt pathogen (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. koae) and development of molecular tools for early detection and monitoring
… from each other. Pathogenic F. oxysporum f. sp. koae (Fo koae) is a limiting factor for low to mid elevation, below 610m (2000 ft), Acacia koa forests and timber stands. These warmer, lower elevation sites are best suited for optimal growth of Acacia koa, but Fo koae hinders efforts to establish …
