Abstract |
Bayoud disease, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis, is a very serious and destructive disease to date palm. Screening of date palm germplasm for resistance to bayoud disease is a crucial step to avoid or alleviate the disease consequences. Fortunately, it was discovered that there are two mitochondrial plasmid-like DNA molecules associated with susceptibility or resistance to bayoud disease. In this chapter, we present a fast, simple, and reliable technique to screen date palm germplasm for the presence of these mitochondrial molecular markers associated with susceptibility or resistance to bayoud. |
