Panama disease characterize Panama disease of banana: These symptoms often get confused with the symptoms of bacterial wilt of banana, but ways to differentiate between the two diseases include: Once a banana plant is infected, it continues to grow and any new leaves will be pale in color. Recovery is rare, but if it does occur, any new emerging suckers will already be infected and can propagate disease if planted. "Fusarium oxysporum" f. sp. "cubense" (Foc) is most prominent in banana, but some other relatives are also susceptible to infection. Different races of the disease are used to classify different major hosts
Panama disease upwards of 30 years. When the environment is ideal and there are host roots available, these chlamydospores will germinate and hyphae will penetrate the roots, initiating infection. There is in increase in the number of symptomatic plants when inflorescences emerge and the highest disease incidence occurs right before harvest. Once infected, microconidia are produced and present within the vessels of the plant’s vascular system. Macroconidia are another asexual spore that tends to be found on the surface of plants killed by Panama disease. Infection is systemic, moving through the vascular system and causing yellowing and buckling that starts in older
