Fusarium oxysporum comprises a group of soil inhabitants that can exist as saprophytes in the soil debris but also as pervasive plant endophytes colonizing the plant roots. Many strains of these species are pathogenic to plant crops. One of these strains, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici, is the causal agent of fusarium wilt in tomatoes. The first symptoms of the plant are yellowing and weakness in one side of the plant and progress with wilting of the leaves and browning of the vascular system leading eventually to leaf death and inhability to produce fruits.
