Abstract
Fusarium wilt of banana constantly causing considerable losses on banana industry of both local and global markets. Global exportation of banana was greatly affected by this disease since 1950s. After the emergence of a hypervirulent Tropical Race 4 strain of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, many genetic improvements aiming to create resistant cultivars were attempted, mainly through transgenic approach. This review provides the recent finding of potential resistant genes and various efforts in creating resistant cultivar from year 2008 to year 2018.
