Differential Gene Expression Study of Fusarium oxyporum Upon Interaction with Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) via Artificial Induction Model

Fusarium oxyporum is a pathogenic fungus that is responsible for severe plant diseases on many economically important crops including Piper nigrum L. One of these, a destructive disease commonly known as Fusarium wilt, has led to an economic loss in Malaysian pepper industry. The molecular pathoge...
