Isolation and characterisation of fusarium resistance gene candidates in Zingiber spp. of North East India

Rhizome rot and yellows caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Zingiberi, is a serious a serious soil-borne disease of ginger and found to be prevalent in the north-east region of India. Most of the plant disease resistance (R) genes encode a highly conserved nucleotide binding site and leucine-rich repeat structure (NBS-LRR).
