The study of various aspects of the wilt diseases of plants which are caused by fungi inhabiting the vascular systems of the host plants has engaged the attention of a number of research workers for over half a century. Various theories have been proposed to explain the wilt symptoms in several species of plants, yet none can be considered to fully explain how the fungus in the vascular elements causes the plant to become diseased and die. The wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. lycopersici (Sacc.) Snyder & Hansen is specific to the tomato, Lycopersicon app.
